My conflicted little boy...

Today my girlfriend's son had a fever (I hope you are feeling better little FD!!), so we had to quickly change our plans (that is, we needed to come up with some...rain + child + 5 hours until naptime = possible breakdown for tired, pregnant Mommy).

Library it is. We packed up and went to the Main branch. This particular book-loaning space is far superior to others in our town - even though renovations are still under way, the updated space is bright, clean, and open. We started off strong - CR chose a few books, and we found a little nook to snuggle in and read...shortly thereafter, CR went off on a mission to scour the Children's section for a baby doll to play with...

After finding a suitable candidate, he streamed to the opposite end of the long room, and excitedly discovered that the construction vehicles down below were "waking up" from their lunchtime slumber.

So there he sat, baby safely cradled in his arms, while enthralled with the diggers and lifts moving the earth in front of him. If this scene is any indication of how his temperament and overall manner will be as he grows older, something tells me he will be tough, but will have a "touchy/feely" side to him as well...sort of like his Daddy...not a bad thing.
