"...Like a Big Keg of Powder"

To say that Jaden still "blows our minds" isn't exactly correct. We've started to get used to him, almost daily, coming up with some new physical or mental feat that we just wouldn't expect from a boy his age or size. It would be correct, though, to say that Jaden still surprises us with what a boy his age/size can do, and it's definitely fun for us to talk (brag?) about.

Last night Jaden grabbed one of the waning helium balloons left over from a party earlier that day. He entertained himself, and us, for more than an hour straight watching it float slowly up and down, coming up with acrobatic games to play with it, and then kicking it in every imaginable way. Many of the kicks were prefaced by a line he took from the Dr. Seuss book Gerald McBoing-Boing (Speaking of which, now there's a fun book to read to your kid!), "Like a big keg of powder!" We recommend you grab the book to get the context of the comment, but the point is that Jaden really enjoyed setting off his own little explosions in our living room, and we really enjoyed watching him. We hope you enjoy a couple shots of the action too!
