The boy likes the girlies
May 09, 2005
It was bound to happen eventually. A whole month... without a blog entry. Let's just pretend that I did it on purpose, as a way of testing the menu bar on the left. What will happen when you click on a month with no entries!?
For those wondering, my colon is just fine. Moving on...
Brendan is doing awesome. He is finally getting a tiny bit of hair (kinda visible in the current/april05 pictures, if you squint). He can mostly sit up on his own, is good at rolling over, thinks high pitched screaming is very awesome, and... he likes girls.
This story is about a month old by now, but hey... it's probably better this way, since I will feel more free to embellish the story to fill in memory blanks :) We are at the Brown Bag Cafe for breakfast. They pack the tables into the place pretty tightly, so when a couple sits down at the table next to us, they are quite close. This was a serious turn for the better in Brendan's eyes.
The girl is tall, blonde, attractive, mid 20's. Maybe a tad old for Brendan, but he gave it the old college try. Plenty of staring, an embarrasing amount of smiling, and the best part... if she tried to look away, he would fall back to his high pitched screaming trick. She pretty much felt compelled to flirt back, just to keep the screaming down. Kid is a damn genius! You single people should feel free to try the screaming technique next time you are in a bar.
I almost (but not really) felt bad for the guy at the other table. He was pretty much forced to watch Brendan get more attention than he could hope for in a week. At some point, it did get a bit embarrasing, as other customers started pointing and watching Brendan flirt it up (quite successfully). But all in all, it was a fun breakfast.
