Red rover

I missed the first roll-over.

I mean, it's not my fault... I had to go to work... this whole management thing takes up a disturbing amount of time. But I hadn't been gone more than 15 minutes or so when I got the call that our little buddy had rolled himself over. Not once. Not twice... not even three times... but 4.

Sadly there's no video of this... yet... but hopefully he'll replicate the feat soon. As I understand it, this is a significant milestone. I'm thinking I should start checking driving schools, maybe some pre-admissions at university... people keep telling me time flies by so quickly... can't get on that stuff soon enough.

What comes next after the roll? Dancing perhaps... Perhaps soon to get the old man a drink?

This week also featured the little doodlebug's first outing to Gatineau Park and the Fall colours... I'm sure he was quite enraptured with the incredible scenery as it lulled him quickly to sleep. There's one lookout that was really spectacular and we sat out there, looking towards the west and the sunset... very very peaceful. It was great perspective... just us, looking out over the undisturbed landscape. I hope we go there often, perhaps occasionally just the two of us, to pause and reflect on whatever's happening in our lives and talk about it.

Right, well, I'm on the 5am shift... I wonder... sleeping through the night seems like such a distant dream.
