just a little thing we call a leaf party

These two have two full days together each week and every afternoon while Henry's in all day Kindergarten. And I think it's been the best thing for both of them. Felix loves to hang out with his big brother and I know Walter is really really loving being that big brother during these times. The Teacher, the Leader and the Reader of books. That identity which is usually overwhelmed by Henry whenever he's home. On Tuesday morning the three of us were out in the backyard making the most of another sunny, wind-free and perfectly crisp fall day. Sam started this play called a Leaf Party ... though it's actually usually referred to as a Leeaafff Parrrrrrrrrtttyyy!! and you have to shriek it. (Once again, Nature is the best toy ever.) We were out raking and tossing and jumping into big piles and with those colours and their smiles ... these are some of my new favourite photos. 26 months apart, these two are pretty awesome brother-friends too and that makes me so happy.
