Today was the first day my child smelled the rain. Vegas doesn’t get much and he was born on the 4th of July (no movie jokes please) so not much rain since he was born. We really do take for granted all the firsts in our lives and our children. There is the usual first step and first word but what about the first time they felt rain? What about the first time they looked at you with real recognition? The first smile?
Sometimes to me these things are more important. So two things important happened for me today. He smelled the rain and randomly pressed computer buttons that somehow started MAME on my Macbook and started Dig Dug. HAHHAHAHAH. I have a Dig Dug marquee. I just need to put lights and all that so he can see it from his crib!
From my wife:
wtf he opened your dig dug
da i think he will like it
