Wave Bye-Bye
So, if Alexander waves bye-bye to you while you are visiting, please don't take offense. He's just done with you. But he'll still walk you to the door and give you a kiss as you leave. And wave and wave and wave as you drive away.

Where is it?
There is a great picture window in Alexander's playroom. Very rarely does Naked Boy make an appearance but when he does, he certainly takes advantage of the moment. For some reason, Alexander really enjoyed standing in the picture window on this night. It's a bubble window with a foot wide frame for him to stand on and he has always been fascinated by this window. As I write this, I am flooded with memories of the past year and a half - from laying on the floor together and looking out the window when he was a baby, when he just began walking and would pull himself up to look out the window, piling toys on the frame once he could reach the window, and now he's tall enough to climb up to it. This window is our version of a growth chart.
If you look closely on Alexander's back, the light reflects like angel wings. This picture makes me wonder if he has seen his guardian angel and in this moment, Alexander is not aware that the angel sits on his shoulder.

Thank you, Melinda!
When Melinda and I first met (over 20 years ago!), she was the first non-family member that had permission to drive me in her car. (I was a lowly freshman and she was the cool junior with the car - that awesome brown Honda something). I'm sure watching Alexander tonight was similar to the same pressure she felt from my dad about driving around "his precious cargo".
Melinda got a baby fix, Alexander adored her, and we had a nice night out. Overall, I think it was a win-win situation for everyone.
Thanks Melinda!! XOXO

Right away, I knew I was going to like this adventure. There were firetrucks and big tractor/loaders to play on! I LOVED playing on the firetruck and tractors.
I really liked being able to look and talk to all the animals. I'm not ashamed to admit that in the beginning, I was pretty scared of those big animals. And who can blame me? I am still just a little guy, ya know.

Alexander not being goofy.
Well, maybe a little goofy...
Michelle is offering a prize to the comment with the best guess of what he heck he was doing.

The airport and more shrimpin'
Maybe he'll like all my Batman, Superman and Justice League DVD's someday.

I know what love is
So yesterday was a bit odd for dad when a falling feather and a man talking to a woman on a bench captivated Alex.
