at least it's an ethos...

My loves

i’m glad she took this photo as times like these are rare for me.  mom is the cuddler.  i’m for wrestling and running around the yard playing freeze tag and watching iron man - i excel in all of these areas.  but i know that it won’t be long until he never falls asleep on me.  he’ll probably hate me for something before too long.  in 10 years i’ll not know anything and will likely be the sole reason for his pubescent angst.

but i’ll always have this.  no matter what else comes, i’ll have these moments stored away.

look who’s back from a week of constant spoiling at grandma’s? let the reeducation commence.

we went fishing with papa l3fan today and caught about 30 bluegill on cane poles, red worms, & bobbers. wyatt kissed the first catch, then lost interest after the fifth.

by far the most fun i’ve ever had summer fishing.

dramatic trouble game or they can’t stand my taylor swift renditions on every turn?

this kid could write the zagat guide for after dinner treats.

“the candy coating is an understated preface to the complex interaction of salty pretzel & creamy chocolate. these morals are a joy.”

this is how much he loves sweet corn - shuck & bite. no cooking needed. “oh, dad, it’s so buttery…”

sure.

also, he asked for a drink of my g&t and when i said no he got a glass of water and said he was having liquor too.

this video captures perfectly the pure bliss of realizing the potential freedom of two wheels and chain driven mechanical advantage.

he’s only been 4 for a month and it just clicked. he burned up the flat basketball court for an hour, then rode up all the grades heading home. downhill is still a little troublesome due to speed, but he’ll be ready to lose the training wheels by summer’s end.

bedroom style - preschool hipster.

jessica is adding a full wall photo collage to the hallway and i love these two side-by-side: our 2008 obama window cling & a naked,crying baby wyatt.
