The Big Wide World

The Boy exploring the Big Mall where Daddy works. He found his way out of JC Penney, through the mall, to the decorative mall provided strollers. Nothing can stop him now!

Swing Swing

The Boy may very well be contender to ride the rides with his Daddy that Momma won’t (I’m looking at you, Millennium Force). He giggled as Momma pushed him higher and higher and giggled harder if Momma caught him at the top, and then let him go. Momma thinks the way he grips the swing is too adorable.

Forks A Million

The Boy LOVES forks. He’s become proficient enough that he insists on having a fork at every meal, and sometimes, more than one. Here, he climbed onto the table while Momma & Daddy were cleaning up, grabbing all the forks he could find, and then slide back into his seat. Who knew silverware could make a boy so happy?

Notre Dame v Perdue

On Saturday, September 4, Daddy made sure that Momma dressed the Boy in his Notre Dame jersey. He also tried to convince Momma that the Boy should watch the game until he got out of work, but Momma and the Boy went to the park instead.

But if it’s any consolation, Notre Dame won. Momma is just sure that it had everything do with with Daddy and the Boy sporting their jerseys.

Mud Pies

Perhaps the Momma is too laid back, but she isn’t too worried if the Boy eats dirt or sand. He seems to love it, and in the past, has purposefully dipped his banana into the sand, only to lick it all off.

Saturday was a slightly new discovery, however. When playing with Momma down the water’s edge (close enough to get wet, far enough to not get knocked around by waves) a little boy just a month or two older than the Boy brought over a large orange bucket almost as big as himself. The two boys giggled gleefully while taking piles of muddy wet sand and flinging into the bucket. As you can see, their aim needed some work.

But the Momma was proud; the Boy generally prefers dry sand to water, and for him to play this close with the water hints that maybe one day, Momma and Boy can play in the waves together.
