Boy Genius

Warning: obnoxious parental bragging ahead!

Yesterday, we met Shawna and ALL the girls at Julius Kahn playground for a few hours in the sun, and while the highlight of the day was definitely seeing Annie and Tessa on their first park trek (they did great, and caused quite a scene!), Joey also had a big moment:

He found a piece of sidewalk chalk, and wrote his own name!!

First, he wanted to write Clara's name, and actually drew a "C" before deciding he couldn't do any more, so I suggested he write his own name... and he did, with no help or visual aids at all! Yes, the "J" was pointed in the wrong direction, the "E" had 4 "prongs" instead of 3, and the points on the "Y" weren't exactly connected... but that just made it all the more charming and adorable, at least for this mommy ;)

Luckily, I didn't have my camera, or else this post would have been doubly obnoxious!! ;)

Good job Joey! And what a good mom, for bragging with honesty!

I always though the E could use an extra tooth!

Oh man, I for one am totally bummed you didn't have the camera! I could totally picture you turning it into some adorable piece of artwork for his wall!
