I’m not sure where I want to go with this one. I could go a few ways… I could talk about how proud i am of my son for taking his first steps… I could talk about how sad I am that I wasnt there… or I could talk about how demanding of a walking coach Uncle Dustin is. Any of the three would accurately describe the video above. Any of the three would be acceptable. But if you have been reading this blog for any amount of time you know for a fact I am about to go on a tangent about my damn brother-in-law being a self-serving communist, militant leader.
Yes I know Jax walked; yes I know that is a gigantic accomplishment. (Also means our lives as we know it are over)… But come on… Walking? I mean how big of a deal is that? I walk everyday. I can walk while I’m half asleep from my bed to the bathroom and back with at least 65% accuracy. I mean come on everyone walks… Get over it. (Or cry a little everytime you watch the video like I do).
I’m more concerned right now at the fact that my brother-in-law has turned from a kind hearted uncle into a vicious human being, more concerned with outcomes than with the feelings and well being of his nephew. I mean did you watch this video? Did you see the pressure he put on my son to do something he was clearly nervous about. Ridiculous. Completely unnecessary. Way to demanding.
He Got Game was clearly Dustin’s favorite movie. He modeled himself after Jesus Shuttlesworth’s dad… Dustin is Denzel, Denzel is Dustin. All the video above is missing is Uncle Dusty making Jax run suicides in the dark.
Jackson might as well be chasing a chicken in a fenced in parking lot instead of slowly learning how to walk. Walking you say!?!! He should be eating lightening and crapping thunder by now.
I guess we should be thankful he is growing up slowly but surely and just sit back and enjoy the process… As long as Uncle Dustin lets us!!!
Here is the whole video of his first steps:
