Spunk and Puppy Dog Tails

Such a sweet face.

 Alekzander's photography endeavor :: His favorite subject - Syra

One of my new favorite pictures.  

Love his spunk, curiosity, energy...

Love him and his baby blues.  

Not ready for summer to end!

I Get You, Mama!

 

He got me!

I never give myself enough credit for 'doing silly well' ...

but maybe I do. 

Its much easier to claim {and cling to}

common sense, conservative, introverted...

But I think it is Alekzander's {and Andrew's} goal

to convert me to the silly side.

It might just be working.

Driving Directions

Its only 317 miles from your house to mine.  

Let's hit the road, Agigail.

Mommy won't mind!

------

Alekzander become obsessed with directions

on our recent trip to Richmond.

Every time we got in the car, he asked if I had directions.

We were without a GPS 

{information he gathered from my panicked phone call to Andrew 

right before we pulled out of the driveway),

and had to travel like I did 

in the old days ::

relying on handwritten directions with mileage estimates, 

constantly looking at the odometer, doing math,

and subtracting miles until the next exit.

We made it there and back and all around 

without getting lost!

Completely worth the 317 mile drive

to see one of my most favorite friends

and her sweet family.

Life with a Boy

Crazy, loud, and messy 

{and sometimes incredibly methodical},

but I love every {bug collecting, car vrooming} minute.

Fake bugs on stairs

All of Alekzander's "favorite" cars parked in the "parking lot"

Bugs at the doctor's :: Sitting on the "doctor paper"

I had to be the doctor and use Alekzander's 

binoculars to check out all 18 bugs and all 30 cars.

Then I had to report the cause of the bug's/car's trouble

to my little OCD assistant along with a suggestion of how to "feel better."

  Upon hearing the diagnosis, he lined up all 48 bugs and cars and sent them to CVS.

{Its interesting to note that Alekzander has only been to the doctor three times 

in almost as many years for sick visits and a handful of times for well visits,

but clearly understands the purpose and process.}

Traffic jam while the bugs and cars waited at "CVS" for their "'edicine"

Loyal buddy always by his side 

No more pictures, Mama!

Silly Soul

There's nothing like a two-year old teaching you that 

"silly" is good for the soul.

And boy oh boy, does he do silly well.
