1. My god....
This makes the concept of being a father one day seem pretty nice.

22. Okay. Now its me.
Just sayin': that is an adorable kid. And picture.

When my kids went through the pointing-and-naming phase, they amused me as they appeared to be mini gods and a goddess naming all the stuff in the world.

(Now my little goddess just hogs my computer LOL. Actually, she cooked some mean chicken tonight, so I'll forgive her...;))




"The Sea!" said The Boy. :)

5. I remember those days.
I had three boys and I introduced them to the beach early on. We lived in Imperial Beach CA and we'd hit the beach at least five days a week. They still love the beach.
Did you take him out into the surf yet?

6. Yeah, up to his knees (which is about 6 inches!)
The water is still in the low 50's.

7. NO way this is the east coast, the surf is too big and the water is too
cold at this time of year.

The ocean, and that one is the largest
on the planet which nobody can ignore
no matter how far inland on a continent they live.


Sweet....very sweet..pictures and life.

enjoy

Edited on Wed May-10-06 12:00 AM by ComerPerro

17. Sweet!
Damn but DUers have beautiful children! Must be the "Liberal" element, no?


Fun watching them discover something new...they so often teach us a new way to look at much of what we take for granted.

18. What a little angel. Did you take his shoes off...
and let him squish around in the sand?

You have a darling little boy. I have a 12-year-old boy myself, and your picture brought back so many memories.

:hi:

20. To quote Lewis (or maybe it was Clark):
"Ocean in View! O, the Joy!"

So cute ... I can't wait to get to the beach with my kids this summer. They just eat it up.
