You leave the boy alone with the relatives for one minute...
So, wife's Aunt Janet and Uncle Matt came for a very pleasant visit with their two kids (Victoria and Jackson) and their chiuaua, Lola. Soen was in seventh heaven and he followed Jackson (who's 8) around and around and around until poor Jackson (who's 8) had had enough. Luckily, Lola was available to amuse the boy. This photo was taken during Soen's third bath of the day. Which brings me to the tale of my son, the naked boy.
Anyone watch Arrested Development? (If not, rent it today!) Anyway, there's this character who calls him self a never-nude, because he never wants to be naked. Well, my son doesn't have that problem. In fact, we can't keep clothes on him. This doesn't really bother us so much until we have people come to the house. Not family, because family is family. But people like my homophobic termite guy, who refers to Soen as "the streaker." Or the pizza delivery guy. Or the cable guy. Or the nanny. Frankly it doesn't really bother me, but it's always this awkward moment and it's kind of funny to see how various people react. Because Soen's only three, people usually laugh. But sometimes, like with the pizza guy, they look away and you can tell they're just counting the seconds until they can run away.
I can't imagine what my neighbors think, because he runs around our back yard, naked, all day long, chasing after bugs and geckos. Sometime, he runs around our front yard naked. One of the first nights we were here, he was so excited about the house and his enormous room, he ran--naked--out of our garage, and around and around our driveway, squealing with delight. It was about the cutest thing I'd ever seen. And then I looked around to see if anyone was watching.
Totally unrelated: I found out those geckos aren't really geckos. They're Carolina Anoles. So, no deal on my car insurance, but they do change colors (dark brown to bright green), just like a chameleon.

Dee Dee says: That's about the cutest picture I've seen in a long time - but then consider who's writing this.
What happens when he applies for a job in his birthday suit?
I guess it depends where the interview is.
Just learning how to play. Love you.
Sounds like Vincent. They should get together and have the inaugural meeting of the Streaking Childrens Union. Soen takes care of the Southeast, Vincent the Northeast.
Auntie Janet had a thoroughly lovely time watching Soen streak naked everywhere gathering Easter eggs! Lola had a great time wrestling with Soen for her raccoon - pictures will follow - and the amazing thing - Soen is clothed!!!! Thanks for entertaining us (and the termites) in your beautiful new home. We all had such a great time, hopefully (unlike the creepy crawlies) we'll be invited back sometime.
P.S. We still have no room and do not want Gromit :)
