Rope Ladder
This pic is part of the getting down experience. I have to say, that in the configuration above, especially with barefeet, this wasn't easy. The middle part wasn't tied together and the ladder was really loose. J had a bit of an issue with his feet getting caught.
Of course, it left me with visions of my boys hanging from the ropes by their feet or worse, but hey, the chain link fence with loose chicken wire and rebar along the top seems a bit more threatening.
So we will get some more pics of J climbing the ladder now that we have moved it. He scales right up to the deck, and I know it won't be long before he is hopping over the rail. Go J!
Sleep Over
J had his first real sleepover just recently. We have had family come and stay before, as well as out of town friends, but that was different. This time it was a buddy and they got to have the entire downstairs to themselves (pretty much) for the night.
J's buddy is a bit older as you can see, just turned 13, but they get along well. They talk about all sorts of stuff and play video games together. This day, however, being Summer and beautiful outside, found them in the play yard, pool and trampoline.
J tells me that it was an awesome experience and it has only encouraged him to ask for more folks to stay over at the house. I couldn't be happier about it.

Lost Front Tooth
Back a while ago, J lost his first tooth, but.....not on his own. We had to go to the dentist and have it pulled. Unhappy pappy grumbled about how he could have pulled it himself and what a waste of money it was, etc.
So the second front tooth came loose, with determination that it would come out on its own. We encouraged the wiggling and eating of crunchy thing for a while, and then, at some point, it was barely hanging in there. J was quite concerned, not really wanting to lose the thing, but we talked him into letting dad mess with it in the bathroom. A flick or two, back and forth with the finger and BAM, right down his throat.
He caught it though, and coughed it back out, ending up looking like this:
So we get J prepped to put the tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy. That really didn't work out so well. He was terribly bothered by the idea that the tooth fairy would take his tooth and that he wouldn't be able to save it. So, we made a deal and let him keep the tooth (he didn't care about the money part), and low and behold, there was money left under the pillow anyway.
So a toothless boy for a time (with more loosies on the way).
Later-E

A Batview
A Batview
My mom has thought bats are cool since she was ten years old. She first noticed bats at a wash in Tucson AZ. The bats were all in a tree at a time; “it was like the tree came to life when they all flew away” she says. My mom doesn’t have a favorite bat because she doesn’t know enough about them.

The Great Chase
The Great Chase
Once upon a time there was a white tiger being chased by bears for trying to eat their baby. The tiger wasn’t watching where he was going and he ran right into a monkey panting a tree orange and black. Then the white tiger had orange and black stripes. The bears didn’t see the tiger and ran right by. The tiger couldn’t get the paint off. That’s why some tigers have orange and black stripes.
