It's Still Summer in Seattle

Ryden is walking 90% of the time. Everyone says he has great balance. He is a much happier baby now. He was well behaved at the Japanese playgroup today.

I met two Japanese women on the way to Wallingford playground/wading pool. It is still very hot and perfect swimming weather. They were both young, long hair, hip. Hiroko with 2 boys and Noriko with one. Then at the wading pool I met a woman married to a Japanese man. Her name was Mary her daughter is Aya who obviously is half Japanese. I hope to run in to them again soon.

I also ran in to Sarah and Josh who live nearby somewhere. I remember Sarah from watching Riot play at various ultimate tournaments. They have a 13 month girl. Maarti (also Riot) still has her son Brody at Able Child.

Doma Sherpa is doing great. She is full time nannying for us until Sept 18th and then Ryden starts at Kidspace on Mon & Tues. This will overlap with Dylan Hampden's time there so it will be great for them to get to know each other and to be comfortable with each other.
