I had thought that I might go somewhere Sunday, but I felt extremely lazy and Kalib and Jobe had come to the house with their mom so I decided to stay put and hang out with them.
Here is Margie and Jobe at breakfast - breakfast being eggs, hashbrowns, spam and wheat pancakes.
I guess Jobe must have proven too irresistible to his grandma. Regular viewers will note that something is different, here, than in the past. In the past, in such a situation, Jobe would invariably have been focused upon the grandpa that he adores.
Now he is looking elsewhere. At what?
It was the movie, How to Train Your Dragon. I was in Barrow on February 12 when Jobe turned one, but the family took him to The Bear Tooth that day to see this very film on the big screen while dining on pizza. I am told that he sat transfixed all the way through it - this despite the fact that by then, Kalib had already viewed the movie 2,392 times on the TV and Jobe must have picked up on some of that.
Jobe remains transfixed by the movie, but, still, he does not altogether ignore the presence of his grandpa.
As for Kalib, he has now seen this movie 5,969 times - and he watches it again - intently, because one never knows what might happen, this time.
;)
"Yay for the dragons!" Dragons are really good guys, you know - gentle at heart.
After the movie, Jobe turned his attention to the little vacuum cleaner.
Jobe and the vacuum cleaner.
I kept thinking that this was the day he was going to take his first step, and I kept my camera ready.
He didn't take it. Undoubtedly, he will already be walking the next time I see him and I will have missed that first step. I hope his parents get to see it.
What if it happens when he is at daycare?
