Some quick memories

While driving home from one of our holidays up north as we passed Magic Mountain Jameson was quite excited to look at the roller coasters. As he was looking a truck pulled up beside us to compromise his view.  With little delay this prompted him to shout "hey truck! Move!".....

One day a couple months back we introduced Jameson to the game "hide and seek".  He, as you would expect, loved it!  On one of our rounds it was my turn to hide.  He giggled and scurried around the house looking for me as I hid in the entry closet.  As I heard him approach I threw open the door and yelled "BOO!"  he jumped and shrieked with a combination of fear and glee.  Then after a couple seconds of laughter he looked at Sydney and confessed, "I peed myself a little"...

On 12/2/12 I took Jameson Ice Skating for the 1st time.  We went to the Culver Ice Arena, where I've been playing hockey.  After first getting the skates on and walking around on the rubber floor he began to get a bit of false confidence, I imagine thinking that getting around on skates was not difficult, but then of course as the skates first hit the ice his legs shot out in either direction as I held his hands.  The brief cocky was quickly humbled.  I held him between my legs and sometimes held his hands and skated backward as we inched our way around the ice.  After a couple of laps we got a cup of hot chocolate and sat up in the stands to drink it....

Jameson really seemed to enjoy all of the time that we spent together as a family over the holidays.  Even though after Christmas we tore apart our kitchen and sanded/painted all of our cabinets.  At one point out of the blue he looked over at us and said "I love mommy and I love daddy."  So cute...

For my birthday Sydney wok Jameson up while I was showering for work.  The set up a happy birthday banner in the breakfast nook and brought out a little cake for us to share.  Jameson was very excited by the whole thing (especially the cake).  Sydney told me later that Jameson was very nervous leading up to the whole thing that he was going to forget the words to Happy Birthday.  As far as I could remember he was able to recall them fine.  Sydney got me a really nice SF Giants pullover...

After work today Jameson and I went down to Dockweiller beach.  We played soccer on the sand.  I would go down into a pushup position and tell him that my arms were the goal and he would kick the ball through.   I would dropkick the ball and he would chase with glee (he still loves running around as much as possible).  Then we went down to the water and had a great time splashing in the water (kicking it at each other) and digging up sand crabs.  We really had a great time.  The we went to the Lifestyle Cafe and he had a Peanut Butter, Banana and Honey sandwich.  He was surprised by how much he liked it, but I was not (he is still very hesitant to try any new food).  It was a great night together after we had not been able to spend any time together in the past two nights (I went to Kings-Sharks game 7 and then had a hockey game of my own at Culver City).

Recently we got a treat of some gellato on the 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica.  While eating I warned Jameson that if he ate too much his belly would hurt.  Now whenever we eat anything; crackers, oranges, berries, etc. he says to me, half question/half statement, "If I eat too many of these my tummies going to hurt".  To which I re-assure him that those foods should be OK.
