As you can see from some of the pictures we've posted recently, Calum is really growing. We are all having fun introducing him to the world around him now that he takes notice. Last weekend, Don and I took him to a place called The Bug Lab. It was sort of by accident but when we went in, it was pretty neat to see all of the bugs - spiders, beetles, ants...Calum couldn't see many of them but he did see the tarantulas because they were clinging to the side of their glass cages. He thought them strange but we didn't see much movement so he wasn't afraid.
The same day we also took him out to Barnston Island. It's not far from us, just a small island on the Fraser River but you have to take a little ferry to get there. It's a total of a 10km drive around the island and there is a small park at one end. We took Calum down to the beach - essentially a muddy tidal flat - and found something he really likes. Dogs. A couple of big playful dogs kept after Don to throw them a stick and Calum found it very funny. There's something about his laugh that makes everything really wonderful. You just want to keep amusing him to get him laughing.
Calum had his second set of shots today. He took it fairly well. Big tears and in need of cuddles. Speaking of which I'd better go. Calum calls.
