I've looked high and low and can't seem to find anyone that recommends the cure for a bawling baby is a quick photo shoot. But he looked so cute I couldn't help it.
We had our first civics lesson today. Young Caden was wide eyed and taking it all in. Lil man handed in my ballot, and then we nearly got kicked out for taking pictures. Upon review, the ruling board declared we could take pictures, but no other person could be in the picture. With triumphant enthusiasm I blurted "well shooot, I don't want any dopey neighbor in the picture...just me, my son and a couple flags" Next week we'll be starting a course on discretion.
Caden and Charlie finally met in person. Of course Terry and Sonia were along as well. We all had a great time watching the lil guys get to know each other. Charlie even taught Caden how to pick ribs from his teeth.
