One Way to Cool Off

A Boy and His Daddy

James was loving on his daddy at Applebee's last night.

Things My Kid Said Recently

"Mama has squishy boobies. I have squishy boobies!" (as he pokes himself in the chest)

"That's CRAZY." (comments from the peanut gallery as Chris and I were talking about something)

"I have big balls." (this is much funnier out of context, so I won't explain)

*fake cough* "Mama, cough. I need medicine." (followed by a cheesy grin)

"Lion pants! Raaar!" (as he tries to put his lion shirt on as pants)

"Mama! I heared funder! You heared funder? Funder means raining. Tigger says funders scary." (I think he was talking about 4th of July fireworks as thunder, because he'd just learned what thunder was but there wasn't any that night, just fireworks.)

"Mama! Need more fisses (kisses)! Need fisses on my cheets (cheeks). And my ears. And...uh...need nuvver fiss onna cheets." (stalling at bedtime)

"Daddy, wanna call grahma." (They call Grandma Ginny.) "Hi Grahma! Okay talktoyoulater." (James closes the phone.)

"Bye Grahma, havegoodday!"

My Child the Smartass. Like the donkey.

James and I went to the DAM today with a friend, because the first Saturday of every month is free. Neat, huh? Anyway, we were just getting into the Spanish Colonial part and James was getting a mite cranky. I suggested he might like a nap, like Donnie (my friend's little boy, who slept most of the time we were there) and James looked away and muttered "Mama needs a nap."

There was this cool "bubble" area outside of the Cowboy art, and James loved watching the other kids run around. He was pretty content to just sit and hug his chosen glowing bubble. Yay for crappy cell phone pictures, because Mommy forgot the camera.
