At the Cambridge toddler shower hosted by my friend Beryl, we passed around a book and invited everyone to sign up to personally and particularly "introduce Daniil to this amazing world of ours." As much as I love and appreciate the abundance of clothes, toys, wooden animals, block castles, beach buckets, fishing poles, little red wagons, backpacks, picture books, rubber garden boots, and other practical and fantastical worldy items--love and appreciate I do, I really, really do, and Daniil will too--I'm just as excited that Daniil will get the chance to go out and play, to learn and do stuff, with his many honorary aunts and uncles.
Here's a smattering of the promised adventures in store for you, my boy:
