The last few weeks have seen some eventful moments. As I stated in previous post the wife and I flew down to the Big Easy to see the bloke’s godfather get married. We had a wonderful few days in the N-O before driving through swampland to Lafayette (the actual location of the wedding). I must say New Orleans is an amazing city from a scenery and setting standpoint. If the city is a shell of its former self, I regret not seeing it at its peak. Hopefully we can revisit the Big Easy in a few more years when it’s had time to regain its bluster.
Of course our little bloke seemed to age a few months in the few days we didn’t see him. We also theorized that the little guy grew a couple of inches. Typical parents reaction to not seeing their child for any amount of time…. But something actually did change with the bloke. Yesterday, as we sat at lunch, someone asked him his name, which usually causes one of us to reply with the answer in a follow along voice; instead, the bloke blurted out “NOOO AHHH”. The wife got teary eyed with pride. I happened to be away from the table at the time, and I couldn’t believe what happened as the wife recanted the story.
The wife said, “Watch!… What’s your name?”
“Noah!” the bloke replied.
The excitement of seeing your child reach major milestones! Momma Green tried telling us to write down the date and time of everything major the bloke does. We, like many other first time parents, didn’t head her advice. Who needs it scribbled somewhere when the moment is permanently branded in your memory? I guess a kids timeline guide of major milestones could server a purpose when they get old enough to ask, “Mom, Dad, when did I do ______ for the first time”
