oceans away

Dylan,

Congratulations, Dylan. Only eight months and three weeks old and you've set foot in the waters off both the East and Left coasts. You're one wet foot ahead of your daddy, but not for long!

Mom says you enjoyed playing in the surf, chasing the receding waves. She even dragged you around waist deep in the frothy Atlanticness for as long as she could handle and you weren't complaining.

Back on the beach you made repeated attempts to eat the sand, apparently unperturbed by its incredible likeness to... well, sand.

Mom has designs on a really large beach blanket.

Remember Son, that there are still two (or three, or seven, or eight -- depending on who's talking) more oceans out there, and if you should ever get it into your mind that you want to stick a foot in those waters too, there's only one thing in the world that can stop you.

Dad
