My Weekend in Four Photos

Big V and I went to Olive Garden for my birthday.

If I convince you of nothing else in your life, let it be this: 

Go.

Go right now to the Olive Garden.

Order the Chianti Braised Short Ribs with Mushroom Risotto.

Rejoice.

I wandered around the book store.

Big V wandered half a millimeter behind me.

"Do you want this book?"

"What about this one?"

"This one looks good."

He was in a hurry.

To leave.

Children are like an optical illusion.

See, he's cute here.

But not so cute when I came across the wads of yogurt

he dumped on the living room rug.

 

His new favorite toy: the plastic wine glass.

He even took it to bed with him at nap time.

I'd say that's his mother's influence.
