"Up, up, up please"

More Roberts?

Jed couldn't believe he met another Robert Dodge in Great Uncle Dave. It was a near immediate bond with the lively bearded SantaFe-an.

Peter loved to reach for Great Gramma's soft skin, constantly touching her hands and cheeks.
Great Gramma even let Jed help with the dishes! A special privilege for only the best of dish washers...

Pikes Peak Overlook



It was any wonder that Jed allowed me the pictures above, because as soon as I hesitated, he jumped off the rock bench and ran off.

Sometimes

When Jed is discussing life these days, everything is "sometimes". "Sometimes, Bueni bark", "Mama, eat sometimes", "Jed like cereool breakfest, sometimes".

Jed called me "David" for the first time this week. He thought it was so clever, after hearing his Mom do the same. I think he felt a bit irreverent at the same time. I laughed.

Peter and Jed are slowly learning to interact. The usual, is for Jed to dance and make faces and Peter responds by smiling and laughing. They both love it.

I asked Jed what he wants to do with his life recently, and his response was, "Play in cabin, eat bird-day cake, watch Cars movie, eat cookies, treats, yum yum." I think I have some work to do.
