Little Things

   As a parent, I get excited over the littlest things. Last night I was sitting on the couch and I told Malachi to go get his duck. He just took off to his bedroom. I was wondering if he knew what I was talking about, because we'd never really played with the duck in his room before. He usually plays with a duck when he is in the bath. Malachi was in there for a while so I started to get curious. Marc peeked in his room to check it out and he said he was coming. When he peek his head from around the corner he had a completely different duck then I had intended, but it was still a duck. Needless to say, I got crazy excited and started clapping. Then, I thought to myself, "what else can I get him to do?" I asked him if he could go get his other duck and he zipped right into his room again without hesitation. This time when he arrived out of his bedroom he had the other duck that I had originally thought of. I got real excited once more and started clapping and squealing so he threw down the ducks and started clapping for himself. Then for the next fifteen minutes he walked around picking up stuff and clapping for himself. Lol. We created a monster!

   The other thing that I love about my son is that he seems to love books. That is how I definitely know he is my child. He can look at a toy for a few seconds and throw it down, but he will spend minutes just staring, analyzing, and turning pages in his book. He now can point to some of the characters or animals and it just simply amazes me. It's so crazy how fast they grow up and learn new things. It seems like everyday there is something new. Sometimes I wish I took the time to explore and try to learn new things.
   I got a nice surprise after work today. I asked my dad yesterday if he could come in this afternoon to help me move some desks, but I had no idea they would bring my little man out to me. It was so nice to see his smiling face come around the corner. He is a walking fool now so he never wants to be held, but he came right up to me and hugged me. It's the greatest feeling in the world. After they were finished moving my desks, we decided to go out to eat to give daddy some more time in the nursery. I guess it must have been good, because little man passed out in the car on the way home.
   Alright, now the moment you have all been waiting for. Updated pictures of the nursery! Well, here they are. Let us know what you think.
