My little 102 month old man cub

Greetings y'all ;

For those of us in the Etats Unis Happy Labor Day. For the rest of the universe Happy 102 Month Birthday Mowgli!
In honor of his 8 1/2 yrs. of smiling at me and bringing me joy we shall make brownie pops!

It's been a great weekend folks. We've visited the farmers market and Trader Joes, tried dates and figs for the first time- delish! Ok I'm adding to figs to my personal list of perfect foods! I can live on figs, watermelon, edamame, coconut water, spinach .... Well and the occasional key lime rum and mango concoction or rum runners.

He screamed but the doctor reminded him he hadn't even picked up the needle. We laughed and wrapped up the visit, but not before Zander asked " will this affect my swimming" . Doctor said wear your waterproof bandages and have fun. So we got the antibiotics , came home, switched bandages and swam.

The antibiotics are given by syringe. It's like he's a new born all over again! He survived the first weeks of life on this plane by suckling on my thumb and me slowly feeding him with a syringe. You've come a long way little dude!

Again I can not imagine life with out my progeny! Joy and pain are what makes us grow. I am humbled to write my song line with my first mate. You've made me a better human being. With that said its time for the captain and the kid to .....

Thanks for reading again today folks!
