To be equal in my affections and attention to both children in this family, this week I give you one week with Warner.
And I will start it out by telling you a secret.
I adore this kid.
Whole-heartedly.
He can do no wrong.
But what 15 month old can?
To start off Warner week, let me tell you about a quest I had which started back in April of this year. I was determined to get a sleeping picture of my light-sleeping little boy. At the sacrifice of waking him up, I attempted this silly task twice, and failed miserably both times.
Attempt 1:
I snuck in his dark room, aimed the camera right at his peaceful little baby face, and realized only too late that I had forgotten to turn off the flash. Click went the flash, and up sprung Warner, right into sitting position. I didn't even know that was humanly possible to arise from sleep that quickly. In my experience of sleepiness it takes a good half hour to actually get up to moving speed after being asleep.
I gotta admit he kinda startled me springing up like that. It was kinda freaky.
In a cute kinda way.
This kid has cat like reflexes I tell you.

Attempt Number 2:
This attempt was closer. There was at least no freaky springing action, but still no luck. Had my camera clicked half a second faster I would have got him. But alas another nap ruined by a silly mom.
After my second attempt and a tired little boy, I felt really guilty and crazy for having woken up my baby to take a picture.
So, I waited a month.
And then attempted yet again.
I guess three times the charm.
Alas, a sleeping picture of Warner.
To bad I got cocky and took a second shot which woke him up from his nap for the third time in a month. What kind of mother does that I mean seriously.

Does Warner know how cute he is? Does he know how I can't wait to play with him when I come to Seattle? Does he know he was born the day after my birthday? Does he have a clue how beautiful his eyes are or how darling he looks in his little striped suit and red tie? Well, I intend to inform Warner of all these things, just in case he doesn't know. See you in late July, Buddy.
