"In words, like weeds, I'll wrap me o'er,
Like coarsest clothes against the cold"

The other day Isaiah, dressed in his batman costume, asked me to make a video of him showing off his batman skills. I'm so glad he asked! It was adorable: he jumped off chairs and flew to the couch, did a few somersaults, showed off his muscles, and waved for the camera. Charlotte was not to be outdone, and she ran through the limelight, screaming with joy. She clambered on the couch and waved and said, "bye." I know in a few decades this video will make me bawl. For now, I'm trying so hard to enjoy how endearing they are, looking past the tantrums and meltdowns.
