First train ride


In mid-October, we went to New York for 4 days with the grandparents. The whole trip was planned around Ronin's first food ceremony. During his sixth month, he takes his first solid food, which is blessed during a gorgeous ceremony. Vasu's parents have hosted several beautiful ceremonies for us and they're always really special.

Here we are, the Friday before the ceremony, taking Ronin's first-ever train ride. He's hanging out on his grandfather, and we're boarding the train in Staten Island to take the ferry across to Manhattan. This is especially significant because Vasu loves trains so much.

Ronin's grandfather took off a 3-day weekend to spend with him, and it was great to see them together. They do simple things, just hanging out -- play drums, play with toys, sing, create beats together. I wish we lived closer to all of our family so that he could spend time with his folks more often.

Ronin loved the train, and we kept saying how nice it would be to live in New York, where we'd rarely have to trouble with a car seat...
