Pre-blog days

As the semester ends I'll have some time for more blogging, but in the meanwhile, here's something from the days before the blog, when Jamie was about 1 1/2. This was an email Sarah sent in May 2005:

There have been many cute Jamie moments lately; he's
started "pretending" and the results are pretty
adorable, as he feeds his little stuffed mouse, etc.
But here are just a couple...

Jamie plays "bye-bye"--a version of Leo's toddler
"goin' now" game, I think. He waves bye-bye and walks
out of the room, around the corner, then comes back
laughing a second later, and plays again.

We got him the "finding Nemo" movie, and it was love
at first sight. Now he picks up the t.v. remote and
looks at us, asking, "Neh-mo?"

Finally, the sweetest thing of all... I was walking
outside with him today, and he was running on the
grass. He totally face-planted and I was waiting for
the tears, but instead he started laughing, because
the grass tickled his face. So he started falling down
on purpose and laughing each time as the grass tickled
him. It was the most perfect, innocent, childish game.
So sweet.
