The Inspiration

We were visiting my parents and my grandmother was there. As we were leaving to head home, our 5-year-old kept hugging his great-grandmother over and over and telling her, "I just can't stop hugging you!" My grandmother was loving it! After a couple of minutes of this, we were finally able to convince him to join us in the car to leave. Giving her one last squeeze, he said to his great-grandmother, "Bye! Call me when you die!"

This is our inspiration. The truly hilarious, way-better-than-fiction, actual sayings and experiences with the wee little folk around us is what this blog is all about. We invite you to share the joy!

Mesmerized

My wife was out of town visiting relatives, so I was holding down the fort.  As we were nearing bedtime one night, I was trying to get everyone through the nightly routine while finishing up a project in my office.  After a couple of tries calling out to our five year old to head to the bathroom to use the restroom and get ready to shower, there was still no movement in that direction.

Exasperated, I called out, "R, what are you doing?"  The response: "Looking at my Lego sticker book."
My reply: "Thanks for telling me, but now it is time to get ready for bed.  Put down the book and go to the bathroom!"  Little did I know the power of that publication.  R's reply:

"Daddy, I can't stop looking at it.  It's too cool!"
