cadence was quite happy to receive her very first belly scratch from odin. she and he enjoyed the quality time immensely and hopefully she'll remember the good times in the future when i'm certain on more than once occasion he'll test several theories on the responses to tail and ear pulling.
while berners are generally considered to be great kid companions, up until today cadence has been a little more aloof around odin compared to the mauja our hyperattentive malamute ( and to be fair, at least as far a mauja is concerned everyone is a little aloof around odin. except him, of course. ), i suspect that discovering that the wee one might be willing to dole out stomach scratches is going to serve as the catalyst for developing new dimensions to their relationship.
“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”
the complete tales & poems of winnie the poohthis site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
