To reiterate...

Soooo, 'member how I was saying I like going to the SAM and I take the kids, and ya know, all that? I know it was a long time ago, check the last post for details if you are confused.
ok, well, my mom is staying with me this week and I am helping her get about 20 years worth of scrapbooking started. Among her photos were these...
This is a photo of Thing One, me, and my papa waiting for the SAM to open on January 2nd, 1998 so we could go view the Da Vinci Notebook.
My mother's photographic speciality seems to be very distant shots with minimal distractions, like, you know, faces, or eye contact, that sort of thing.
Anyway, as you can see in these photos Thing One was happily passing the time by being fascinated with The Hammering Man.
Once we got inside we watered the kid and checked our bags. If you even thought about carrying a camera in the exhibit they got VERY angry. I think just considering it was grounds for a slap in the face. So this is the only interior pic of the day.
So there you have it, proof I've been dragging that poor child to the SAM since before he was two years old. I promise to talk about something else next time.

I remember babysitting Thing One when he was this small. He was so cute with his headful of curls ...

I found myself asking, "Where is thing one? All I see is a tiny red head baby boy!"

Oh wow, then realized we are talking past tense here!

Does that mean you were just in your dewey 20s in that pic?
