One thing we have learned about Alex is his attention to detail and focus when working. One activity he likes to do is pick flowers off the ground and return them to the plant. He has not yet figured out which flowers go with what plant, but he's big into putting things away. He did NOT get this trait from me. Chris might say he got it from him, but I really think he got it from his Grandpa Gordy. That is a tight ship he runs out there in Green Bay.
Chris comes home today. Alex is very excited, and I am too. He wanted to take Dad's car to work today and when I told him we had to leave it at home because Daddy was coming home and would need it, I thought we might have a meltdown when we drove away. Luckily promises of helping Mommy buy her coffee and eating an apple with Grandma helped him forget for a little while. The whole way over, he repeated "First, Mommy's coffee."
A man who has his priorities straight!
PS - thanks to Grandpa for this great photo!!!!
