Becoming Human

What does is take to become human? Kids aren't really human until about age 16. It happens in stages and you have to be patient. Right now V is striving to be human in anyway she can: She tries to eat what we eat, drink what we drink and do all the weird quirky things that we do on a daily basis. It's actually more funny when she fails because we have a good laugh when she tries to take on a task and completely annihilates herself.

For instance, she tries to hold onto a toy and then stick her hand into the "snack trap" at the same time. This is called Multi-tasking. She cannot multi-task. The frustrated look and whining that goes on through her struggles are pretty humorous. If you think I'm being a bad father, take the next kid you see at church or wherever that's 1 1/2 years old and try it. You will come away looking like a total idiot but you'll have an insane laugh. We visited Gammy and The FOG recently and they bought a hippo pool instead of a jacuzzi some nice things to wear and play with whilst at the Grandrents. In terms of awesome stuff, we have more pictures of the visit and many other happenings. It's going to be the greatest moment of your life up to this point:

The FOG makes V's day a better day every day.

V totally incinerates her diaper outdoors but April remains strong.

V: Pools are great but pools with fountains ROCK!

V: Only 14 1/2 years until I get a REAL Driver's License!

It may look like she's getting mugged but she's learning how to hug.

When you're becoming human, you can do... well... pretty much whatever you want.
