… is a play day for our wild child! :) Dog days are windin’ down. Kinda. We’ve still been finding lots to do indoors with an occasional foray into the fiery abyss outside. ;P Ask us about any kid-friendly place in town and it’s likely E has checked it off his list. Haha. Our most recent mission is to visit as many libraries as we can around the area — and there are lots!

First Picasso. RIIIGHT.

We crafted an astronaut puppet — to space is Daddy’s aspiration for his sidekick. Mommy will beg to differ on this one.

“Mommy, why she sad?”

First time to celebrate Ah-Gong’s b-day with him in person!

Deep spiritual discussions after church. ;-)

Now he’s into the petting the animals thing whereas before he was terrified of most living creatures. ;D

His first Taiwanese shaved ice! (But we think he likes SNO better.)

This little kickster attempted a soccer camp! E was asking about it with great interest. Most places start classes at 3 but this particular coach was gracious enough to let him give it a try. Plus, it was a shorter summer sesh so perfect for his first time. Turns out E found it harder work than what he probably had in mind. ;-) He still did well and just learning some of the basics as well as the interactions w/ other players (all older), listening to coach, practicing at home, etc. were great skills he picked up.

We went to another family night at the skate park. It was MUCH cooler that day (an anomaly actually for TX August) so E played longer than last time. At 8pm sharp, the big kids flooded back in with the usual crazy jumps, twists, tricks, flips, etc. Yet E still did not want to leave.

The allotted time was set aside for ages 1-12 but E turned out to be the youngest and the others kept calling him a “baby”. “Watch out for the baby!” It was sort of irksome but that did not deter us from letting our son do what he loves! Then on Saturday, Mommy got texts from some other mommies that E was in the newspaper. Say, what? Check your FB! Apparently, a friend found us on a spread for metro happenings in the DMN.

So, who ya callin’ a baby??? Haha. J/K. :) Oh, and that’s the he’s-not-a-baby-but-i’m-deep-down-fearing-for-his-life mom look. :PP

And that, my friends, ends a very long photo dump.
