Local Cuisine

Momma probably should have stopped him, and she did right after this picture, but what a great shot of the Big One tasting the local cuisine!

On the Go

An action shot of the Boy at the playground. He is always on the go and it’s so rare that Momma gets to capture it like this!

A Southern Snowman

 

 

A rare treat in Wilmington – snowfall significant enough to build the Boy’s first snowman.  The Boy and his Daddy played outside for a few minutes, building a tiny snowman, throwing snowballs, eating snow and doing other typical winter activities.

The Boy was chilly, but happy. Maybe he’ll like snow as much as his Daddy.

I Spy With My Little Eye

… Something awesome I can climb!

Exploring a mostly empty beach on Saturday, the Boy discovered the life guard station. As adept as he may be at climbing, the ladder proved to be too much for him. He could reach the first rung, but couldn’t gain his footing in order to reach the next. Thank goodness for that. Already that day he learned to climb out of his crib – over and over again in protest of the evil regime that is nap time. The last thing the Momma needs is him being able to scale vertical ladders.

Pint Sized Farm Boy

The Boy discovered the joys of fall and farms on Saturday. Momma really wishes there were an apple farm near by; fall just isn’t the same without picking apples. So the family settled for a local farm, filled with chickens, goats, horses and pigs. Tall corn stalks, tractors, and pumpkins to play with. Here, the Boy is in a teepee (or possibly wigwam, I’m not really up on my dried corn husk housing).

Judging by his laughter and big smiles, the Boy’s favorite part of the farm was right here.

Playground Playtime

Before a Sunday School teachers meeting, Momma and Daddy took the Boy to play at the church’s preschool playground. The wooden train provided endless entertainment.

 

This photo makes Momma think of The Jungle Book. She hasn’t seen the movie in long enough to remember why…

 

One of the Boy’s favorite playground pastimes is to climb slides, regardless of height. This nice short slide is just perfect for little boys to climb.

Meanest Momma in the World

The Boy is quite convinced that he has the meanest momma and daddy in all the world. Momma is does not ley ukmkn,  .; /; <--- this is the Boy telling you his woes first hand, which loosely translates to “let me eat cherry pits I find on the ground.” Momma also doesn’t let him stand up in his high chair, eat trash on the beach, or drink Diet Mountain Dew.

Daddy is just as bad. He doesn’t let the Boy play on the laptop, escape out the door while Momma’s headed to work,  or climb onto tables.

In public, he is sweet as a button. But at home, he is sure to show his displeasure at not being able to do whatever he wants, with an ear piercing people-are-going-to-think-you-are-cutting-off-my-foot-with-a-rusty-saw shriek followed by this face:

So it begins…

Rooting for the Home Team

Another local ballgame, with a couple of friends from church. To raise awareness for public transportation, the local transit authority offered free baseball tickets if you rode the bus to the game. Huzzah for cheap nights out!

This time our team WASN’T wearing pink. The Boy got to meet and play with Sharky, eat dirt, and climb the bleachers. All in all, a good evening had by all.

Blue Skies & Blue Eyes

The Boy playing, feeling, learning, and eating sand. He loves the sand, the shells, the toys, the towels, the sun and the outdoors in general. The ocean? He’s not so sure about that yet.

Caught…

“Why no mother, I have nothing in my mouth. What ever would give you that impression?”

Hello World!

This is the boy. Hello Boy!

The Momma has decided that the Boy has monopolized her blog. And so she created a blog just for him. Right now, he's too little to write and blog for himself. But he's never to little to have a blog devoted exclusively to him.

Now, maybe Momma can get just a little piece of her life back, even if it is just having a blog that isn't ALL Boy ALL the time.
