Looking Up
Over the weekend, we spent some time at our favorite place: The San Diego Zoo. This time with my parents. And some close friends.
Behold, Archer, intently watching his favorite Zoo creature do Zoo creature things:
Still watching...
Watching (Hi, Dad!)
Waaaaaatching....
Watching. Watching. Refusing to look away.... From the cable car:
Watching. Watching. Refusing to look away.... From the cable car:
Of course, pretty soon, we were all just as interested. We were all watching, too. I guess that's what happens when you go the the Zoo with an Archer...
... A cable car quickly becomes a magical floating box in the sky.

One of my greatest joys is watching the world through my kids eyes.
How sweet!
Had to come out of the woods to say two things, Bec.
(1) I love the look of awe and wonder on Archer's face during the zoo trip. I love seeing that look on my daughter's face. Is there anything better? I think not.
(2) Your dad has one of the most awesome 70's porn moustaches that I've ever seen. It's definitely one of the coolest ones I've seen in a long time. I can only dream of one day growing a 'stache like that!
P.S. Congrats on the book! Can't wait to read it.
My dad's 'stache is indeed impressive. Puts Burt Reynolds to shame, I say.
I can't believe how fast his hair is growing! Cute pics!!!
We have the same experience when we go to the Minnesota Zoo. Julian loves watching the train go by. I have not let him ride it yet - I am afraid it will make all the wonder disappear.
Hello there! I haven't commented in a while, but I do like to pop my head in just to see what your adorable toddler is up to. I've been reading your blog pretty much from the start and I see that Archer has grown and thrived so much! I thought of Archer immediately when I started reading "The Einstein Syndrome" by Thomas Sowell. Seriously, if you haven't read it, it's worth a look (it's about extemely bright kids who talk late and are often mislabeled). I know you don't appreciate unsolicited advice, but Archer seems to fit the bill. Take care and congrats on your book. I look forwatd to reading it.

Cable Cars rock.
Yes, if we would see things as our children see them, the entire world would be a wonder. Even a blade of grass.
It's sad that we lose that as we grow. It's even sadder that the children who fully embrace it are sometimes viewed as disturbed.
You've got it. Let him lead the way, and everything is amazing.
I love being a mom.
he's so smart! we can learn a lot from archer! ;)
Did he get a chance to ride in it? Priceless times, for certain.
