Somehow, don't think that would go over well with him

But I'd love to see a photo.

(You can tell I don't have kids. Right?)
He's still not to that point where he doesn't want to be seen with mom and dad (I kinda hope he never hits that point) and will openly hug us in front of his friends. Today he didn't have school, so we went to a botanical garden for their indoor butterfly exhibit -- he's just as excited about this as he would be an air show or other "manly" exhibit...pretty balanced kid. He held my hand through the parking lot (his idea, I didn't require him to do it, or anything). He doesn't yet feel too self-conscious. I think it helps that he goes to a Montessori school that is pretty hippie/crunchy in nature...they really work to discourage peer pressure and being judgmental towards one-another.
