If you've met Sebastian, you probably noticed that he's always bending sideways or backwards (we call this "banana-ing"). He likes to smile at people this way. Nobody knows why. It's really cute, but it also makes him very difficult to hold. I haven't actually dropped him (yet) but I've come close.
Children's voices in the orchard
Between the blossom- and the fruit-time:
Golden head, crimson head,
Between the green tip and the root.
Black wing, brown wing, hover over;
Twenty years and the spring is over;
To-day grieves, to-morrow grieves,
Cover me over, light-in-leaves;
Golden head, black wing,
Cling, swing,
Spring, sing,
Swing up into the apple-tree.
--T.S. Eliot
