little weasel

this morning i got to play with a baby for a few hours. a friend of mine, who moved a few months before her baby arrived, is in town this week to do some research, so she was looking for some childcare to facilitate her ability to study. i happily volunteered my morning and had fun with her four-month-old boy named ivan. the reason for the title of this post is that “little weasel” is their endearment of choice. it’s nothing personal to this kid or anything–they called other people’s babies the same thing before they had kids of their own. he’s a cutie!
