To wit: This year alone, in no particular order, Simon has:
- Filed his first US tax return
- Attended opening night for the Seattle Mariners (a first for me as well)
- Joined a softball league, and played two games. Which led to...
- Visiting the emergency room-just this week..Simon fractured a bone in his arm after falling at said Softball game on Sunday. OK. That one we didn't 'chase.'
- Played a game of kickball. Only one game, unfortunately-due to the aforementioned arm, he will be playing no more.
- Purchased a house
- Observed just *how many* prescription drug commercials are on TV (it's not legal to do so in the UK)
- Started to just a *little bit*) enjoy drinking an IPA
...and that's just the big stuff. We do however, still have a few boxes to tick. Like:
- Learning how to drive
- ..and with that knowledge, getting a drivers license. Just in case.
- Visiting Alaska and Hawaii (we'll tick these boxes before the end of the year. woo!)
What else? What other first time experiences (parents? Expats?...) should we be chasing for Simon?
