Baby on the Prairie

The baby made his debut as a historical interpreter yesterday for our annual Country Fair as an 1886 baby (Mark Stone) out with his mommy Alice for the Agricultural Improvement Society Fair and received rave reviews both yesterday and when he returned today in the glorious sunshine (instead of the chill of Friday).

He talked to the guests. He played with the children. He ran off with his Auntie Laura and had a high time, even finding a wonderful stick to play with for a while. He talked to the chickens. (Auntie Laura swears he said "Bawk" back to the chickens when they clucked at him, which is a possibility. Twice.) He LOVED the music of Saxton's Cornet Band as they played Civil War music on their period-appropriate instruments, and bounced, tapped and clapped along to the music.

And did I mention he was CUTE?IMG_8626.jpg

He can also leap into the air, fly across the county, spin in tight circles, and chop blocks of wood with his hand. If you need a kung-fu enforcer, he's your guy.

Very cute indeed. I'll bet the little old ladies had a hard time doing their jobs, what with that little guy around.

What I got of it was really cute. After 15 min. and one computer turn off (so far) I have his face and a tiny bit of his clothes. Worth it!!
