Poppa


August 14, 2010: after waking up at 5:30 am, Evan played for a while, then to our relief, showed signs of tiring. As I tried to put him down, he fussed and woke up, so I rocked him back asleep and let him sleep on my lap. I watched him for quite a while, sitting there in the campsite, and eventually he stirred. He yawned, gazed up at me for a moment, then quietly said, "Poppa."

I will remember this moment for the rest of my life.
Thanks to Tania for capturing this image.

Hi son, are you sure Evan said "poppa" and not "opa"?
