A Hippo, a Bunny & a Bear Peeing on the Floor




(28 months) Putting Grady to bed, he randomly pops out with "Hippopotamus!" I say, "Where did you get that?" He says, "TV. Hippopotamus!" I say, "You're funny!" He says, " I don't care who you are!" Hippo was cute, Larry the Cable Guy means waaaay too much TV lately...

It must be all the sugar from his chocolate Easter bunny. He's steadily chomping it away, from the ears down. He had a ball hunting for eggs in the garden, but then picked through his basket and took out any of them with a crack in it or a smudge of dirt. So much like his daddy - I'm doomed!.

I was changing his diaper the other day and he just announced "I'm a morning person." Cracks me up. I told him he was a night owl so he thought for a minute and tells me, "I'm a night owl AND a morning person." Ain't that the truth. Why do you think Mommy quit her job so she could get more than 4 hours of sleep a night? Sooo worth it, Grady Bear!

And this happened a while ago, but is too funny not to share. Got Grady in the tub and finally returned a call to my brother when G stands up in the bath, slippery with bubbles. I lean over to help him sit down before he falls and he grabs for the phone, knocks it into the water. I'm not sure if he's in danger of electrocution or what so I snatch him out and stand him, dripping, on the floor. I'm swishing around in the bubbles, trying to find the phone, saying, "Shitshitshit!" I get it and its screaming this horrible high-pitch shriek so I yank out the battery... only to hear a little voice saying "Shitshitshit!" while he laughs and pees on the bathroom rug. I had to just sit down and laugh too -- Nice, huh?
