the warmest of welcomes

thea and i arrived in boston this morning and went straight from the airport to lucy and john's place before heading to newburyport. we were greeted by a very grown-up william who is walking and talking. he was extremely excited to see his cousin and shower her with affection. thea was reciprocating for awhile but then became a little overwhelmed by all the love.

at one point william thought that sharing his super cool iPhone would buy him a few more kisses but when he got the cheek, he knew he needed to step it up. the cat and mouse game moved to the fireplace where he tried to entice her with a few of his patented dance moves. it's pretty priceless and well worth the three minutes if you have the time.

i'm so glad john caught the exchange on video, though i don't think i'll ever forget it.
