My lil' Companion

By definition - 


com.pan.ion - 

1.  A person or animal with whom one spends a lot of time or with whom one travels.

2.  A covering over the hatchway leading below decks

Now, I am pretty certain that Soren hasn't been covering any decks below - anywhere, at least I don't think he is...

...so I will say, he is my companion, my lil' person that a spend A LOT of time and travel with - thankfully!  My partner in crime, by bubbie, my sweet lil' dude - the coolest adventure seeking buddy ever.  And last week - we adventured.  Places of note! - Soren's first visit to the Cincinnati Art Museum and a playground!  We found a playground near by in Oakley and I don't know if he had more fun watching people play tennis or trying to run into the street (yikes!) - but none the less, we had a ball.  

The Art Museum, however was a bit more give and take.  For instance, I thought he would really dig the Nick Cave exhibit, you know, big life size stuffed animal looking things - which was truly pretty cool, but it absolutely frightened him.  However! - the wonderful Monet exhibit really caught his eye.  He pointed and talked while staring at Water Lilies - it was priceless.  That wasn't all - we then passed the Pablo Picasso exhibit, he actually pleased and pointed - wanting to stay to check it out!  How cool!  All the lines and simple drawings may have been more infant-tastic, either way - he loved it.  So there you have it Uncle Derek - we have another Picasso lover in the family.  

nick cave pieces - you can see why this frightened him, but are still so cool!

So much so! when we passed the gift shop, he just HAD to have a Pablo doll from the Unemployed Philosophers Guild (which if you haven't heard of this yet - check it out!  So cool!) and a Hello, Picasso! Book.  Seriously - no encouragement.  He grabbed these right away and signed please.  So, pardon the pun - I took it as a sign and now I have to read that book about 20 times a day.

Love it!
