I am sure he has seen all the Men in Black shows?
You know he actually hasn't? Lol
We were actually talking about this the other day. He is like me. We have the attention span of an M80 firework. It takes a lot to sit us down through a movie. If we sit too long in the house, it'll just occur to us that there is a forest behind the house, or The Gulf, a half a mile down the street!

Good game tonight! Here's big John on 3rd base, chomping at the bit to score. He did too!

I can't believe he's this big kid now. It seems like last week that I was trying to convince him that there were no monsters under his bed.

Yeah, I'm watching you big boy!
That last picture is perfect!

I love this! Getting out and doing things makes so many more memories for him and you than sitting and watching TV would!!!
