It's Sunday evening and our neighbours to the South are enjoying the last hours of their Thanksgiving long weekend. We are coming off of a long weekend of our own. Only two days, but was it ever long... For some reason Akemi was very fussy this weekend. Could be the rash that's peppering her butt. Anyway, she was agitated about something. Even my two-tone humming wasn't working. I took a long stroll with her just before noon and at least at that time she was content.
One thing I noticed when she cries is that the tears jump off her cheek like ball bearings off the sidewalk. Maybe it's because her cheeks are so round that the tears can really gain momentum. They fling out into the air, and I don't know where they land. They look oversized for her small face. Sometimes when she stops crying one tear will sit at the top of her cheek just below her eye. It reminds me of a crumb on a table waiting to be wiped off. I'll call it a tear-crumb.
