This is our boy. Always curious, always looking around, always touching things to see how they feel. (And always trying to get into cars!) Mommy shot this video on the walk home from school a couple weeks ago.
Here he is on the same walk, examining the sidewalk, singing to himself a little bit, yelling at the traffic, happily meandering on a sunny evening in late summer. This is our boy.
Today we’re going back in time. Back before he could stand up, let alone walk. Before he could speak. Before he could do much at all, except for explore his world (something he’s been keen to do since about day one, actually).
Here’s our boy from July 2012, age just shy of one year old, exploring an empty bath rub, babbling, and pulling down the shower curtain. Oops.
Why are we posting this now? No reason at all, other than we just found this video, and we’re pretty sure we haven’t shown it before, and it’s a nice look back at how he was back in the day.
Here’s a quickie, our boy riding a Thomas the Tank Engine ride at a local supermarket.
What we really love about this is how the train is moving back and forth at a speed not much faster than the snails out in our back yard. But Nyan doesn’t care; he’s happy as Larry on his train – and holding on for dear life ’cause, apparently, the train is going so fast!
Until, of course, he gets distracted by a kid playing nearby…
It’s the waning days of summer here in London – the sun is coming up noticeably later, and setting noticeably earlier. The mornings are chilly. It won’t be long until we’re all vitamin D-deprived and despondent over the never-ending winter. But we here at Nyan Thomas World Headquarters like to live for today, so we’re just enjoying the last of what has been a brilliant summer.
To that end, here’s a whole slew of videos from a recent sunny Sunday afternoon as Nyan and Daddy hung out in the green space around the corner from our house — it’s less a ‘park’ and more just a grassy field with lots of old trees in it — and looked at a nearby pet store. Six videos in all, about a minute or so each, well worth the viewing.
Here’s Nyan and Daddy, setting off on their big adventure. In other words, walking down the street, with Nyan dragging his ladybug “bike” behind him.
Here’s the young man, running running running. And yelling: Read the rest of this entry »
Nyan’s buddy James, a.k.a Pickle, had a birthday today, and a birthday party as well at his house just down the road. They brought in Jo Jingles, which is a woman who comes to the nursery (daycare) once a week and leads them in a bunch of songs. Here’s our hero, doing a song called Head Shoulders Knees and Toes:
Yeah, he was having a bad hair day today…
And here he is, just being extra-exuberant. The boy loves balloons:
Plus a bonus video, from earlier this morning. Just Nyan being Nyan. Dancing and so forth.
