Cannon's 4th Birthday

I've watched this little guy grow up to be the four year old that he is today and I went over to take him his birthday present on Friday. Do you remember those things (I don't remember what we called them back then) but they were like little still-picture movies? You put in the reel and lower the lever to advance the picture? These days, they're called View Masters. Cannon now has his View Master, or his 'binoculars', and he has Curious George, Dora the Explorer, Finding Nemo, and Charlie Brown reels to look at.





Apparently, he has developed a strut. He can switch gears and start walking his strut. He's showing us how he walks.


Now he's showing mom his Curious George Reel

Ok, on to bigger and better things. His birthday was actually the day before, but his presents were waiting to be opened on Saturday at his party. But he asked if he could open a present, so he chose this one............what is it?

Oh, the suspense..............

A sword!!!!!


And what else?

Another sword! So two people can duel to the death!

Then he asked if he could open another one, and the ensemble was completed with two shields. Any proper pirate needs a sword and a shield, and a set of binoculars.

Ready to fight!

We took the game outside and this was my opportunity to grab a shot with Cannon. Can you see the expression on his face? "What do you want me to do???"

Meet Rebecca, the younger sister. She was apprehensive about me, but eventually warmed up to me.


For some reason, I really like her sweater and dress, she looks so cute.

Cannon's showing off the present his grandparents gave him, a soccer ball lounge chair, complete with an ottoman.


What four year old is complete without a bike?
