NO LA

I'm in New Orleans (NO) Louisiana (LA) visiting Ryan, Ashley, and Jordan. Ryan and Ashley are great, and about the same as you've seen them in the past.

But Jordan is almost an entirely new person! He has such a little personality now. The usual 2 year old traits are there, like shouting "NO!" in defiance whenever Teletubbies or BackYardigans end. And answering "Yes" anytime you ask him if he wants something.

He says "peesh" for please, and has his own flavor of Jackanese where he can talk in complete sentances that seem to make perfect sense to him.

I can't stop smiling as he does most things, and I know that I'm being stupid about it all. It's nothing novel, kids have been this way for centuries, but that's my nephew's son being so traditionally cute. And by traditionally cute, I mean fare more adorable than 99% of the 1-3 year old population of the world. I have higher standards than most.

This weekend we are going to walk the French quarter with him one night, which I guess is a lot of fun for him, and all the partiers walking around in the past just adore the kid. I'll get a few pictures and try to post them here.
