A Long Weekend

The boy never ceases to amaze and make me laugh. Favorite story from the weekend: My wife, Shaan and I are standing in the living room of our home, doing nothing in particular. At which point, Shaan, tell my and my wife to hug - in a childish baby voice - Daddy hug Mommy. So we embrace - at which point point he goes "Blahhhhh" and pretends to throw up. WTF. The wife and I of course lost it. Funny as shit. His comedic timing was on and the delivery impecable. Time to get him on the 3 year old stand up circuit.

We also got a Christmas tree this weekend. Not quite decorated yet. But within about 20 minutes of pulling the ornaments out, one had shattered in his hand with glass everywhere. Thankfully it didnt cut him, but that was just too easy to predict.

We also had a wonderful morning in the mall. The roads were too slick too meet up with his cousin and aunt at a mall further away, so we had immediate family day at the nearby location. He loves chow mein from Panda Express and has gotten much better about not making a total mess. The poor poor mall clean up people. We do our best, out of embarassment to clean up, but something are just not possible.

I also got the first of his Christmas gifts. A solar system mobile, that still has Pluto on it. We will have a discussion when he is older and I can do my best to explain the "death" of Pluto as a planet. Also got him a book about a boy who flies to moon and gets stuck there and then meets and alien who also is stucj there. The theme is space - one of his old man's favorites. Hopefully his too.
