A Little Young

My dad has subscribed to Sports Illustrated for as long as I can remember. In fact, he gave Scott and I a subscription when we got married and continues to renew it for us every year (thanks Dad!). I don't think I read as faithfully as he does, but I do like to flip through and try and stay on top of the world of sports. I used to read the back page editorial every week, but it's just not the same since Rick Riley stopped writing it. But I digress...

Owen and I were putting together a picture book the other day. He was flipping through old magazines to find pictures of things he liked. I cut them out, and he glued them into the book. Parenting magazine netted us some pictures of a lego helicopter, a truck, and Elmo. From Sunset, he chose a plate of food ("I like cooking!"), and coffee ("I like mom and dad have coffee.") And, from SI, he chose pictures of Chauncy Billups with his basketball, Shaun White on a snowboard, a car from one of the advertisements, and this:

I even tried to quickly flip past that page, but he was insistent... "I like THAT girl!" So be it.

This is priceless!! I just read it to Alan too and we got a good laugh. I was planning to do a picture book with Anatole, so it will be interesting to see what he chooses. :-) BTW, I have the Toddler Busy Book, too - so great!!

oh my -- maybe the next comment - "Owen, let's just cut out her smile" :).
I have a friend who has subscribed to SI for years and takes the swimsuit issue straight to recycling every year. A little extreme - but you might have to resort to it later?

Okay, Ryan and I are in tears laughing. Priceless.
