The Invitation
So Alden and I went to visit Cannon yesterday. Cannon and his very small dog.
It was clear right away that the babies just wanted to be left alone. Alden was like, "Dad, you are so embarrassing."
Did I leave them alone? I did not. I had an obligation to capture every moment with the camera.
Apparently, Cannon had something for Alden.
It was an invitation.
Alden, who has never been invited to anything before in her life, didn't get the concept. And so she tried to invite Cannon to his own party.
The babies had a moment of mutual misunderstanding. It was very moving.
Cannon was like, "Dude, no paparazzi. I'm trying to have a moment here."
Moments later, things took a turn. Swords were produced, and the situation got dicey.
First Cannon did battle with his mom.
Then Alden was pitched into the fray.
Then she did battle with Cannon's mom.
I was just glad no one asked me to take up arms. I surely would have harmed myself. After soundly defeating Alden at swordplay, Cannon's mom delighted her with bubbles.
Then Alden mowed the living room lawn.
And tried valiantly to enjoy her first piece of turkey jerky before realizing that her two and a half teeth were unequal to the challenge.
And then it was time to go. Because I was exhausted. And still am. The little punk woke me at the crack of dawn this morning, ate, and promptly went back to bed. But once I'm up, I'm up. And so I'm up. Bracing myself for the next slate of demands from the tiny dictator.
