I was using the leaf blower today, and after I finished making piles I was blowing air at Robin. He absolutely loved that! He would run away laughing wildly, then come running back calling "more!" Then he stopped running away--instead he stood in front of the nozzle and let his shirt fill up with air. It reminded me of one of the many trips to Buffalo to visit my grandparents when I was a child. During this particular trip, we went with my dad's parents to the Skylon Tower in Canada, which overlooks Niagara Falls. It was very windy on the observation deck, and we were all letting our shirts fill with air. There's one picture of my dad and my grandpa, both with poofy shirts. Dad had a triumphant smile on his face, but Grandpa was looking down at his shirt with a thoughtful look on his face. Well, at one point today Robin looked at his poofy shirt with the exact same expression, and it brought all the memories back. I said "Aw, Robin, can I hug you?" He took off running, but it was a good moment.
He's going to be TWO in just four days! It's hard to believe it's so close. As I did last year, I'll probably give the blog an overhaul after that. Stay tuned for birthday pictures sometime after the big event!
Just like his Daddy, Robin is reading the Toys R Us ad over breakfast. They advertise extraordinarily well, because Robin pulled this out of the paper just to look at.
