We had a bit of a quiet or down day yesterday&#8230;in fact, Siah is still in his pyjamas in these pictures.  They are stripey footed pyjamas and OH. SO. SWEET!  I love little boys in footed pyjamas.  They look so little and babyish still.  I find that kids grow up too fast and while I&#8217;m not trying to keep my kids from growing up, I find that too often we (<em>as a society<\/em>) move at such a fast pace;  and we are constantly looking forward to the next stage in life.  So much so, that we don&#8217;t take the time to just enjoy the stages that we are in.  I know I&#8217;m generalizing and that not everybody does this, but it does happen.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/xangelle\/5710775478\/\" title=\"DSC_0019 by Xangelle, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3241\/5710775478_8d1709737b_z.jpg?resize=640%2C425\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" alt=\"DSC_0019\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been difficult to get pictures of Siah recently.
