Riding around!

Weebs!

This will seem like a small thing by the time you read it, I suppose.  For all I know now, you'll be driving a car by the time you read this post.

However, for this weekend, it was a big deal to me, so I'm sharing it.

You finally figured out how to properly ride on the scooter that you got for your birthday last year (when you turned one).

It was really fun to see you climb aboard it and just drive around the living room and the whole first floor of the apartment.

I am glad I got to see it, and the pride you obviously felt at doing it!

Stay At Home Dad!

So, I mentioned in the last State of the Weeble Address that I am a stay at home Dad now, but I wanted to put up another post about it here!

Basically, we have reached a point that we can afford to get by on just one income, your Mom's.  I don't know how much things will have changed in the world by the time you read this.  Right now, it's a rare and wonderful thing for any family to not have two incomes, and even stranger still that it is the father who is staying home.

It is absolutely wonderful!  With your older brother, Derek, I had to work a lot of hours and missed so much of his early days.  It is just amazing to be here with you and see the little changes and learning that you go through on a daily basis.  It's only been a week now, but it is already just so wondrous to me.

We're definitely keeping busy on a daily basis.  We go to the YMCA every day, where you get to meet and play with other kids your age in their Child Watch program while I run and then you have lots of fun at the Alaskan Adventure indoor playground.  I'm attaching some pictures of that for you!

You've really taken to loving it when we read books together, too.  Your favorites are your animal books with pictures of animals.  You just learned to say Elephant and Crocodile and pointing to their pictures!

I love you, Liam!
