When I was Paul’s age (back in the day), the coolest electronic gadget was probably the Atari. When you went to the music store you bought cassette tapes, until they invented the Compact Disc, which surprisingly has been around quite a while now. I seem to remember my sister getting a stereo with a CD player sometime in the early nineties (and listening to the same Garth Brooks songs over and over again). I can only imagine what life will be like when Paul is my age now. The iPhone is absolutely incredible (and unfortunately still expensive), but by the time Paul is 25, it will be a useless antique. I don’t have an iPhone, but I do have the lesser model iPod that just plays music, and Paul thinks highly of it.
But looking at these photos of him checking it out now is kind of funny, because someday he might come across these and laugh at the "technology" of 2009.
He loves music, and he's been working on his dance moves lately. He also loved the keyboard I had, so maybe he’ll play an instrument someday. I’m thinking we’ll start with a drum set when he turns four. Get him going early. But he also likes football on TV and throwing around whatever other ball he can find. So maybe he’ll go that route. And if not, I guess we’ll sign him up for ballet lessons… or figure skating!
I guess he could just be a model. He seems to have that down.
Either way, he's a piece of work.

So I'm curious is that Paul's "Blue Steel" or "Magnum"...just wondering!
When I was Paul's age (back in the day), the coolest electronic gadget was...hmmm...surely there must have been something...let me think...the black and white TV maybe? And have you ever noticed how well-built male ballet dancers are? Can't wait to meet Paul, hopefully this summer!
