I Rock

MRA turned two years old on Tuesday. Its amazing how fast those years have gone. Its also amazing how much a child changes in such a short time.

Its easy to forget this but having ASA in the house provides for a constant reminder.

Anyway, Nana and Babba A. gave MRA a rocking horse for his birthday. Apparently, this is a hot item as it took me more than a month to track down a white one (I still didn't get the one with the white mane!).

The gift came a day late, which was actually more fun as it was a bigger surprise for him.

We assembled the horse (with a freaking allen wrench - why, oh why, can't these manufacturers just use a regular screw) and snuck it into MRA's room while he was sleeping.

This morning, as soon as he saw it, he was excited. We made coffee this morning so we were with it enough to take a little video.



After the initial ride, he figured out how to rock without touching the rails. We had a hard time getting him off it to do things like, ooooh, uh, get dressed. Seriously, the kiddo would have stayed in a wet diaper all day to ride the horse.

And, being the sweet little guy that he is, he kissed it and petted it and said hi to it every time he walked back in the room.
