While we have been letting him watch some episodes with us, he's started protesting against the blood and gore. It's made us realize several things:
1. He's going to vote eventually.
2. GoT isn't for small summer children. Must change child's bedtime to Before-We-Start-Watching O'Clock.
3. We have a small child who will someday learn the ways of the world.
4. We will have a teenager who will snicker at his "Throner" parents the way I did my late Trekkie dad.
While this boy is still a decade and some away from being that teenager, we've compiled blackmail material clips of his year so far. Warning: has maternal nudity. NSFW
The year certainly felt longer than these 15 minutes, and every moment of it was magical. We're starting to get the hang of this parenting business too.
His developing personality is fun to discover. If he can go somewhere, or get into something by himself, he will try first (and probably fall and recover many times) before ever asking for help. This could be a bad thing and a good thing.
He's learned how to mock cry, to threaten us (with his fingers dangling precariously close to the electric sockets), to put his fingers in my mouth when we're crying/singing/waking up.
He's learned that cats are mimings, and that pictures in books and screens of cats are also mimings, but he hasn't learned that dogs are not mimings.
He waves goodbye enthusiastically when it's time to go. He waves goodbye even more enthusiastically when he WANTS to go (regardless of whether it is time to go or no).
And he absolutely loves water.
And we love you little man.
