Funny James story

Karen had to work tonight, so I was hanging out with James alone tonight. We were kind of trapped inside since the weather was rainy and yucky again. I turned on "Caillou" which is one of James' favorite shows and sat him in my lap so we could watch a little TV together. I promptly fell asleep, and he let me sleep until the show was over, when he turned around and picked up my face to look at him and said, "Wake up daddy, ya lazy bum, Caillou is over. Turn it on again, please." That alone made me smirk, since I am the one who taught him the "lazy bum" bit. What he did immediately afterward made me really laugh. He pretended to pick up a piece of popcorn from an imaginary bowl in his lap and feed it to me. He told me what he was doing, "I feed daddy popcorn, mommy made it." -he even made the "crunch, crunch" sound for me as I pretended to chew the imaginary popcorn. We sat and watched a different episode of Caillou, and pretended to eat popcorn for the next thirty minutes. James even pretended to drop the pretend popcorn bowl on the floor, making a "big mess", which made him say "Oh, doughnuts!" and then laugh hysterically.

Since you can't say bad words in front of little kids, somehow I made up "Oh, doughnuts!", and James really thinks it is hysterical.

Sounds like you had great fun with your precious little boy. I can't believe you fall asleep with him on your lap. That is hysterical about pretend popcorn and pretend crunches.

Love you all.
