September, Part VIII – Out Of Their Minds Design

September 25th – Grandma Barb reads a story to Ian. Ian ponders the deeper meanings of “Corduroy.” Believe it was the next day that Grandma Barb and Grandpa Ray headed home. Thanks again for visiting and helping us out! See this image larger.

Sometimes feathery white wings, sometimes little red horns. I think you know what I’m saying here. 😉 See this image larger.

Surprise! See this image larger.

Notes from around this time period, the 26th of September:

Ian – “Kiss me because I like kisses.” (Said just like I typed it, no pausing…)

Ian piloted a spaceship at the landing of our steps, with our feet further up the stairs like real astronauts. That’s pretty awesome for three.

Ian has taken a real interest in space. He begs to watch NASA tv on my iPad which includes some of the most boring stuff there is. He likes watching the one about the International Space Station because it has zero gravity and a rocket that “blastoffted.” He used to ask me to watch a simulator of the space shuttle taking off, and his favorite book lately is puzzle planet, a space adventure that Greg handed down from Jake. I hear a rocket has already been purchased for Christmas, though… Just sayin’.

Our trip to the park was pretty horrible on September 28th, thanks to two busloads from an area Christian High School who showed up and beat the heck out of the equipment that is meant for 50 pound kids. See this image larger.

There were casualties. See this image larger.

Nina admires the chaos for a few minutes. See this image larger.

*Let’s get out of here, Daddy.” See this image larger.

Notes for September 28th –

Nina did sign language for more.

Daddy (calmly) – “What do i have to do to get the message across to you, Ian?”
Ian – “Yell at me?”
Daddy feels bad rest of said day.

At the dinner table, I was explaining something that happened earlier in the day to Melissa —
Daddy – “And then we bonked heads… And I yelled because it surprised m-”
Ian – “Excuse me, excuse me…”
Daddy – “… it surprised me and…”
Ian – “Excuse me, Daddy.”
Daddy – “Yes, Ian?”
Ian – “It was an accident and we just bofth need to say sorry to each other.”
Daddy (looking at Mommy) – “Would you listen to him? He’s THREE! Can you believe this kid? (turning to Ian…) You’re right, Ian, Daddy’s sorry.”
Ian – “I’m sorry too.”
Daddy – “I love you, kiddo.”
Ian – “I love you too and I love mommy and Nina… and the kitty.”

The next entry will be another pulled from it’s original publishing date to maintain the timeline, and that will also end our September entries.
