I love my little bear for so many reasons. One morning this week he was on a mission from the moment he woke up. In his blanket sleeper he marched right downstairs and declared it was time to go outside. It was the first really chilly morning we've had this fall. We got him all cozy in his bright orange puffer vest and his bright blue snow hat. This kept him warm while he rode his bike, hiked around the yard and pulled off and examined tree branches, and pulled apart many expired roses. It lo... Continue reading ...

- Alex watching the hot air balloon fly over our house: "Daddy, let's go in the hot air balloon!" Jeff: "Do you notice how they are up there and we're down here?" Alex: "Let's get the ladder, Daddy!! Get the ladder!"
- "Mom! Let's pump a rock!" (I have NO idea what this means or where it came from, but there it is, folks).
- Sitting at his desk looking at a magazine, "Look, Dad, I'm reading!"

Landmark day. Alex got a twin-sized bed and it was set up this last weekend. He loves being in the big bed. My parents generously got him some big boy furniture. He was very excited to help Grandpa set it up and as he screwed things into place told Grandpa, "I'm helping!"
Tonight as he prayed in a hushed voice I heard him say, "and thanks for Nana and Grandpa, and my bed, and my blanket, and Nana and Grandpa, and my bed, and my blanket." It's been almost a week. Apparently it's really made an... Continue reading ...

There is a certain fascination with large machines that make lots of noise when you're a child that dissipates at some point around early adulthood. My son is amazed by dump trucks, street cleaners, cranes, tractors, fire trucks and motorcycles. As an adult I observe these without much thought. The eyes of a child bring back the wonder of such great machines. It's not uncommon to see Alex run to the window when the trucks arrive. He's especially fortunate to live across the street from a truc... Continue reading ...

It's been a couple weeks since I've captured any of Alex's antics. The following is a collection of memorable events. - Alex spent some time running around the house, purposefully falling (and making a crazy screeching noise that sounded like the beginning of a rooster crowing) and then exclaiming, "I'm okay!" Intermittently he stops at Natasha and says, "Oh hi, Tash!"
- I banged my knee on the gate at Alex's door and since he saw I was hurt, Alexander bent down and kissed my "boo boo" to make it ...
