They Love Him Too

For 19 months only he was solitary, an individual child in a house of adults. But after the 19th month - he was just the oldest of three. He has spent the best part of his six years helping to take care of the littler ones, the ones who needed more help - the ones who still need more help. He's never been jealous or upset because there were "babies" in his space. He helps fetch and carry for them, cleans up their messes and helps keep them safe - acting as extra eyes and ears. In fact, he's so loving sometimes it amazes.

So it was very tender to see him sleeping in the back with his baby brother taking gentle care of him while he slept.

Nice to know that as much as he loves them - they love him too.

The Circus McGirkus

The circus came to town and I have to admit, they went back to the old traditional ringed circus and it was SO much better than that modern musical drama-cirucs we saw a few years ago. That was the year Ringling decided to DO AWAY with the Rings.

Bleh, it was retarded.

This was retarded in the traditional "circus" way which was just fine with me. The clown jokes weren't funny, the tiger tamer was a joke - nothing like Gunther Gebel William who RULED, but - it was great.

The big boy got to try on some geniune circus folk clothes.

And the whole gang got some annoying whiz bang light up toys!

We feasted on circus food and enjoyed the very silly afternoon. I have decided that maximum circus entertainment is delivered to the 6 year old set, as the big boy practically BELLY laughed throughout most of the show.

I blinded my poor husband with the flash.
