Nathan Meets Curious George – Just Like Dad


Curious George was one of our son Doug’s favorite “friends” when he was a young lad. Curious George is aptly named, and so it becomes a natural way, through stories, for very young boys to learn about their world via this loving, inquisitive monkey.

Of course Grandma and Grandpa had to introduce new grandson Nathan to Curious George on this, Nathan’s first Christmas. I love the photo above, in which Nathan appears to be interacting (“curiously”?) with his new friend. I wish I knew what he’s saying; any ideas?

We remember, back when Doug was little, how Curious George had to always come along whenever we went out anywhere. In fact, I believe we lost the monkey one time on a long trip and it was very traumatic for Doug until we got another Curious – er, “found” him one day. Have fun with George, Nathan; your daddy sure did!

All this serves to remind us how wonderful it was to be all together as family during the Christmas season. Hayley, your gift finally was delivered to us, and it’s on the way to you.
