Obviously the start of 2011 has been hectic since we are 20 days in and this is my first update. To our one loyal reader (Aunt Molly), I will be updating all of our January adventures very shortly. But to tide you over, my favorite story:
Last week we were home together all day. I was running out of activities and you have this fascination with pictures and identifying the people you know. We went through a few recent pictures of family and friends and you were a champ with naming everyone. We stumbled upon my absolute favorite picture that I took in the hospital the morning after your birth.
I showed you the picture and I asked who was in it. You quickly pointed out Daddy. When I asked about the other person, you paused. I saw you thinking and processing. Your memory trying to trace who this little person could be. Finally, you excitedly exclaim, "Jesus!" I immediately started laughing and had to call Daddy at work to share.
Why Jesus, Daddy asked. I thought it was obvious how clever you are. What holiday just passed? Christmas... where the star is baby Jesus! The only baby you remember apparently.
I thought it was quite the compliment that you thought Daddy was holding baby Jesus. You have always had a soft spot in your heart for Daddy though. Wait, reverse that: Daddy has always had a soft spot for you. Whichever way, you and Daddy have quite the relationship and today we celebrate the day he was born and all his accomplishments in the last 37 years, including his greatest: you.
