Over and over I'm overcome with the greatness of getting to know myself through my boy. I really can think of no better way of honing ones character, than having a child. If the stress alone does not teach you a lesson in personal management, the looks and responses to your authority will make you realize what you're bringing to the table every time you have to exert it.
By far God's most wonderful creation... "Creation", i.e. My Boy!
We were out and about with Jamie for the first time at the zoo last week. We had a good time just being out with our parents. It was a cold day thought, and Jamie is really too young to hold out the whole 3 hours it takes to get through the whole thing.
Nevertheless it was good. Some more pictures here.
Last week we picked Kristine up from a teacher's conference, some distance from where we live. After the long drive, we got out and there was this great playground there. They even had a little Ark there to play in. Jamie was happy.
Today, we were at our parents place (Paul and Larissa's) for the day. It was a good time. Gerald's girlfriend's Parents were invited for the first time. The two families had never really met each other. They are really nice people, whom we will probably be seeing more of in the future.
Got to run around and play with Jamie today as well of course. We were out back and cleaned up the walkway. What else did we do...? Oh yeah! Jamie got his hair cut. Aunt Olli did a great job making it look like she did nothing. That's the key to a good haircut right? And she managed to get it done rather quickly.
The funniest part though, has to be when Jamie is standing in the center of the room, (naturally as the center of attention), and starts doing something. Today it was the cell phone and dancing. I didn't start filming until the really good stuff was over. He tried calling uncle Edgar (opening the phone and yelling loudly: "Uncle Edgar!". Of course it didn't work, but it was hilarious. Here a video of at least some of the good stuff.
