That was silly.

We took this video last week one evening during the bedtime routine.  I can't believe I forgot to share it until now.  I really don't think I can add anything to it, this is basically what passes for peek-a-boo in our house.

Phrasing

It's been a while. It's been eventful since we got back from vacation, Daniel has been basically wiped out every night now that he's started at the extended day program at what will soon be his school.  Next week is going to be even harder on the little guy with actual school (well, Junior Kindergarten) starting up. But this is another in the  "James says the most hilarious stuff" category. I was golfing today (it was insanely cold for it being the end of August, by the way, I don't think it go above 20 all day) and didn't get home until just before 9pm.  I went upstairs and saw James was still awake, so I went in to see him.  This is what followed. James:  Dad?  Let me tell you about my day.  Me:  Okay, bud, tell me about your day.  James:  Well first it was excellent, then it was passable, then it was good, then it was great. At this point I'm already starting to laugh (I'm sure he gets "passable" from playing Cut the R...

The resolution to the above was something that amused the other parents around me to no end.  One guy actually laughed out loud.  Because what do you do when your kid gets a boo-boo?  You kiss it better. The trip to Skyzone today was generally good.  Getting in to the place was an absolute disaster due to a combination of environmental issues, my own poor planning and the staff at Skyzone having technical issues and not just dropping the ball, but digging a damned grave for the ball and burying it under a mound of concrete.  That said, once we were in and the boys were jumping, all was fine. Until Daniel slipped on the trampoline and said he hurt his thumb when he landed.  He probably did, it looked kind of red and he clearly did land on his hand.  So I kissed it better. That set off what I swear to God was a fifteen minute game where he would jump five or six times, then flop down on his belly and claim he had hurt some other part of his body...

Not to put too fine a point on it.

The light switch in our bathroom has been failing.  Since I've never cared for these switches anyway, I decided to take the opportunity to replace this: with this: And since I had James help me when I replaced the light and fan switch in his bathroom with the one that includes the built-in LED nightlight, I convinced him to help me with this project. Before we started, though, I thought I'd prepare him for what we were going to do. Me:  So, buddy, here's what we're going to do.  We're going to turn off the power, because we're working with electricity and we need to be careful so we don't get a shock or get burned, right?  James:  Right.  Me:  And we're going to be very careful each step of the way so we don't hurt ourselves because we're also going to be working with the wire-cutters and very heavy-gauge wire, right?  And if we're not careful, we might get a cut from the wire.  James (cheerily):  Or a scar!  M...
