The Joys of Raising Boys

Okay, this is Kyle. A few of these pictures require a short explanation. First of all, I took a picture of Jack in his little rocking thing the other day because when I saw him I totally thought he looked like he was wearing an Egyptian pharoah's headdress. I guess it's that whole history teacher thing.

Then, Jack fell asleep in his carrier the other day, and by the time he got settled down, he looked like he was either trying to go incognito, or he was stuck in the 80s.

Ethan wanted to take Jack on his first trip to the zoo the other day, so we did. Jack slept through most of it, but I think he had a great time. Ethan has also gotten very brave around Max. He actually pesters him, then laughs while Max tries to lick him, then thinks he's big stuff by ordering him around afterwards.

Ethan also got to use his finger paints the other day. As you can see, he has not quite perfected the technique. I keep trying to tell him that they are called "finger paints," not "fingers paints." Oh, well. He painted a great picture of a "cacoon" (as he calls it). You know, the thing before a "beauuutiful butterfly pops out."
