and not in the usual sense of the word. we had a very busy day yesterday. luckily, owen got a short nap in before all of the activity started. we went to see the pbr (pro bull riders) at the puyallup fairgrounds and took owen for the first time. he really liked it. he would applaud when a bull rider stayed on for the full 8 seconds. he got pretty disinterested during the breaks in the action, but once we pointed out that another bull was coming out, he sat fairly still and watched. i think only about five riders actually rode their bulls, which means they stayed on for the full 8 seconds.
after the bull riding, we went to jeffy's sister's house for the july birthday party. owen had a great time playing with all of the kids there, most of whom were years older. he was very sweet to isabella, as usual.
one very important change i've seen in owen this past week has been how gentle he's being with the kitty. he'll pat max with what is an acceptable amount of force as determined by the cat. owen has also discovered that of he goes for the tips of the ears with his pincer grasp, max's ears will go flat against his head. owen thinks that's pretty danged funny. occasionally, he'll actually manage to catch one of max's ears. that's even cooler in owen's mind.
we had a more-wet-than-usual bathroom last night following owen's bath. my precious little boy decided to take the rinsing cup, fill it with water, and dump the water over the side of the tub...while he was sitting in the tub. needless to say, he only did that once. ahh, the joys of toddlerhood.
