Gone Fishin'

Saturday evening Jason and I went to a couples baby shower. David could have come along but the cough and congestion he's had off and on for a month had gotten worse. I know he would have loved to play with his friends, but as a mom I also knew that I wouldn't want someone else to bring a sick child to play with mine. (I'm thankful I made that decision because I took David to the doctor today and he has a sinus infection.) Oma and Pop were so kind to babysit for us. Upon his arrival to their house David told my parents that his daddy had taken him shopping earlier that day and he picked out his very own fishing rod. Jason and I were both surprised at his choice. They have lots of rods with characters on them but he wanted this one...

...because of the extra tackle that came with it. Also, it probably looks more like one of the many his daddy has. Jason plans to take him on his first fishing trip sometime in the next week or so. Before we left, my dad reminded us of the rod he still had in the garage that my sister and I used as kids. While we were gone Pop decided to give David a casting lesson.

Pop sent the above pic via e-mail to us on Sunday which read, "Here [is] the...[picture] of David as he practiced casting in our kitchen on Saturday. He only made two granny knots in the line of the several dozens of times he cast the plug and reeled it back. He was perfectly content with that activity except that he wanted a response each time when, as he began reeling, he would say 'I got one; I got a fish !' "

Speaking of fish,I thought I would post a pic of the bedding I bought for Wesley off ebay express... ...the nursery isn't quite put together yet, but I will post pics of that when it is finished. It will be pretty simple. No new paint, just new pictures. I've only bought one so far. Fishing nursery decor is really hard to find!
