Can't see the nature for the nature

This was one of Oliver's earlier trips to the Forestry Farm (zoo)
On the first couple trips to the Forestry Farm, about half of the nephews/nieces (of toddling age) will stare at the animals, trying to figure out what it is they are looking at, and the rest will suddenly realize they are outside in an open space and promptly ignore the animals for the immediate snow bank or puddle.
Oliver loves animals now, and can tell you all sorts of facts about them.

Grumpy Little John

He wanted to stay home and watch cartoons. This was before you could record things all willy-nilly. Plus he had to wear a shirt at church. He didn't like to wear shirts. People used to say he would be the priest in the family. He isn't, but he doesn't hate going to church any more.

"Does this bug you" at the earliest stage

There must be some baby-catnip in Chris' hair, because I remember Oliver used to do this to him too.

The Eternal Question

And then a parent or older sibling would have to come rescue me.

GMOD is a video game we like to play.
Never have staring contests with time, you'll lose!

Too many kids in the kitchen...

This is why you get a fenced in yard. Happy Easter to you and yours!

The same, but different...

 

 And then the rest of us say "It's not that warm yet, put a jacket on!"
