Throwback: Year Two

This picture was made at my parent’s house and JT was two, a year he spent talking all the time.   Every picture I have from that year is of a little boy with his mouth wide open, talking non-stop.  That year (and for several years afterward), he was also a fan of carrying small items in his hand.  In this picture, he has the plastic bin for a roll of film (remember film?).

I have a collection of photo books that I’ve used to make a picture of JT for every month of the last 18 years.  I don’t look at the collection often, but it’s a precious to me and I enjoy its existence.  It’s a Hermione’s purse of memories, moments, and stories; the history a much-loved child in a book.
