This photo made me sad. The baby looks unhappy, and I don't like to see unhappy babies. But the dealer told me it is rare to see a photo of a black Cuban child from this era (he himself is black) and he insisted I take it for my collection.
Jace picked me a flower yesterday, awwwwwwwwwwww, right? He's so sweet. Don't you love this obvious toddler picked flower, only half of it survived the pickin', hahaha. I had to document my first flower from my little boy...I hope there will be many more to come :)
Happy Earth Day, everyone!
It is wonderful seeing toddlers in the street. How small they are! And what set of priorities do they introduce? How will they shape the future? And, yes, life will go on. Leica M Mono, Voigtlander CS 2.2/50.

Yesterday he and his buddy C climbed into closet pulled out a massage kit gift set and opened it all up and spilled half a bottle of massage oil and were playing cars with all the massage attachments...

2yr 7month old.
Big for his age, bright as can be. Full of energy (a bit overboard according to his sleep deprived parents).
There is the occasional Oedipus anti-papa, but hearing 'I missed you' from him melts me on the spot...
The back of the box has been opened up to reveal the shipping restraints on the inside of the cardboard backing. There are wires, threads and plastic T-tacks.
The Disney Store's just released Classic Brave Merida 11'' Doll is photographed while being completely deboxed.
The Classic Merida doll comes with several accessories, including bow and arrow and quiver. Her outfit consists of a full length teal satin dress with gold trim, a full length black cloak made of a very elastic material with a large silver decorative button next to the velco closure at the neck. She is wearing brown shoes. All these accessories are removable.
She is fully articulated, including joints at her neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. She is unique among Classic Disney 11-12'' dolls in having fully poseable feet. Her shoes are flat, but she cannot stand on her own because her shoes aren't big enough, her joints are not stiff enough, and she is top heavy and unbalanced towards the back.
She has a beautiful round face, a cute little nose and her pink lips forming sassy smirk. Her hazel eyes has a yellow sunburst center, that in conjunction with the large pupils look like the sun in mid annular eclipse. She has freckles across her cheeks and forehead. Finally she has a large mass of medium length curly orange-red hair.
I just bought all three different Merida dolls from my local Disney Store, on release day. They are the 16'' toddler ($24.50), 20'' plush ($19.50) and 11'' classic ($16.50).
The US Disney Store has just released (on Monday April 23, 2012) various merchandise, including poseable dolls, for Merida, the Scottish heroine of the upcoming animated feature Brave. They are available both online and in stores. The movie's premiere is on June 22 in the US.
Actually I think before we grew into "reasoning beings", (the thing that makes us unique), we only craved need. As infants without reasoning abilities, hard to know if we felt love or just need. Closeness or love instinctively means safety, and that was all we "needed" before reason made us self-conscious, aware, or the word bandied around lately, we became "woke".
I think we are more than chunks of meat with firing neurons, the ability to "reason" about our place in the universe makes each of us special among all life forms. Our uniqueness gives me reason to suspect none of this is just a random quirk of nature. Was there nothingness before awareness, and will there be nothingness after? I don't think so, otherwise what's the point? Too many things have had to happen over time beyond our comprehension to be just luck or chance. We are part of something special. The natural man is a beast, cruel beyond anything else in nature. We have thousands of years of history to look back on to see the truth of that. Right now the world of man (and woman of course) is at a time of peace and prosperity never know before. We're at a precipice, do we continue to lift humanity to even greater heights, or revert to our bloody, enslaved past? Did God roll the dice on mankind, and was everything for nothing. We have free agency and reason, are we up to the task?
What a ramble, sorry for getting carried away. Just wanted to post a picture. ;>)
