Soccer girls

After a lazy morning at grandma and grandpa's (well, lazy for Eric and I who slept in until noon), we took Bertle to Eric's former high school and let him run around on the football field. The high school girls were just finishing up soccer practice and stretching on the field. They started oogling as Bertle fearlessly ran toward them, clapping his hands. The whole team started clapping and it was hilarious to watch Bertle's face he and the girls took turns clapping. It's amazing how, through the eyes of a toddler, the whole world exists just for them..."i can make a whole field of soccer girls clap just by clapping my hands."

Later that night, Eric and I went out again, though this time Bertle was very upset when we left. Eric's mom told us later that Rocky Balboa of Bethel Park, PA (their pug) was so concerned that he curled up next to Bertle on grandma's lap and licked him to sleep.
