Rai Enters His Roaring 20s!

As you enter your 'roaring 20s' (you are now 20 days old) we decided that this would be the perfect opportunity for you to try on a very special gift sent to you by your great-grandmother Jewell.
When we first opened the package from your great-grandmother with this thing inside, we didn't know what to make of it. It resembled a doiley-type cup coaster yet it wasn't flat and it was addressed specifically to you. Upon a more thorough investigation, we were able to conclude that, in fact, it was something to be worn on the head. With it's lacy, embroidered tendencies and flowering ear covers, it is certainly more on the feminine side, but hey, this is San Francisco.
As baptism and Victorian banquets are not on your list of engagements for the coming weeks, we weren't sure that an opportunity for you to don your new headpiece would come about. However, taking another look at the lacy thing the other day, I finally realized that it's basically what is called a flapper hat, the kind that was very popular in the 1920s. Hmm... 1920s, you're turning 20 days old; this was all a little too serendipitous!
So, on your 20-day birthday, we put the flapper hat on you. While you explored your feminine side, we had the chance to take some great photos of you. One photo was of you with a lady that could very well have been your mother, with matching flapper hat, had you been born in the '20s. One thing quickly lead to another and there you were on the arm of an old-school football player with helmet very closely matching your headgear. Finally, as you spun your head, I had visions of chainmail armor cascading down your neck which lead to the photo of you with the knight from Indiana Jones. You have chosen wisely, Rai.
Not to be forgotten is the fact that Rai often looks wise beyond his years. He can sustain a deep, ponderous look for many a minute and uses those wrinkles around his eyes to portray the illusion of wisdom quite well. All in all, those characteristics combined with his diminutive stature make him resemble quite closely one of the great sages of our era: Yoda. There is no try; there is only do or not do.
Hopefully, when you turn 20 years old, we can pull the doiley-like flapper hat out once again. It may not fit, but at least we can all laugh at the photos we have of you from this day. One of the best aspects of this period in your young life is that we can pretty much put any outfit on you and laugh at your complete oblivion of what is being done to you! At 20 years old, I hope you find the humor in this as we have. Happy 20 days, son!
