Owen discovers condensation!

This morning when Owen woke up (too early) he was a bit out of sorts and so was mom!So I opened up the plantation shutters on the picture window for him so he could stand there and look outside (one of his favorite things). When I opened up the windows, I noticed there was a bit of condensation on the bottom part of the window, so I quickly ran my finger through it to show Owen. Then the fun began. He had such a great time rubbing his hands all over the window, scooting back and forth so he could reach more of the 'untouched' parts! What fun it was watching my little one enjoy something so simple & pure. There is nothing better than being witness to his little discoveries every day! :) Thank you Lord for giving my son an inquisitive mind and allowing me the time and opportunity to sit back and be a witness to it all! What a lucky gal I am!

Owen and the Camel

Owen loves animals. I can honestly say that he has gravitated towards them from birth (okay maybe not birth, but you know what I mean!). His two favorite pals are our dogs, Boomer and Bella. His new favorite place to stand is at the baby gate, where he is locked OUT of the kitchen, and the dogs are locked IN! He just stands there and giggles and talks to them for as long as we let him! We are convinced that his first word will not be 'mama' or 'dad' but rather some version of 'Boomer' and 'Bella'! He already makes the 'b' sound over and over....so he is probably halfway there!

Well, the circus is here and their tent is set up less than a mile from our home! It is one of those 'old school' circuses with only a few animals and a real live tent! What a treat it has been to walk down there (almost daily) to let Owen see and 'chat up' the animals there! Today he had a lengthy conversation with the Camel and the Camel actually talked back. It seemed very interested in Owen and stretched it's neck out as far as it could trying to reach Owen through the bars! The picture was the best I could get of the interaction, but trust me....the camel was MUCH closer than that! :)
