Huntington

Today Aiden and I went up to Pasadena, I have never been up there, but it was a nice drive and we went to Huntington gardens/museum/library we really just went to the garden part, and we hung out thee and walked aroundfor quite a while, Aiden enjoyed it, he liked the flowers, and watching all the people, and the Koi in the ponds. I got some cute photos of him as well. Like I have said before I like having a beautiful child, but today I had several strangers asking to take photo’s of him. I have alwasy heard that Japanese tourists like to take lots of photos (it’s true) but today while I was getting a couple shots of him, I had several people come up and ask me if it was ok to take photo’s of him because they thought he was so cute!!! I was totally flattered, it’s funny but it’s a total boost for my ego when people admire my child. I mean yeah he’s got my genetics, but I didn’t pick the way he looked, they are complimenting me on something completely out of my control, and the compliments aren’t even about me, they are about my son, but… it still makes me feel good.

Later in the day I had a long conversation with an old friend, it’s always nice to hear from an old friend, it’s like getting a personal letter in a pile of bills. We chatted about life, and marriage and kids, it’s so funny how once you have a child your life is no longer your own. My entire life, everything I do is for or about my son (at least I feel like it is).

Sweet Dreams
