When does it stop?

What age is it when kids stop being hilarious? Whatever it is, I hope that Gman doesn't grow out of his funniness. This was taken Sunday while we were all enjoying a quiet afternoon. Please notice that Gman is biting an empty Orajel bottle. (This has become an odd habit. It's like a socially acceptable pacifier. For the majority of the day this thing is in his mouth. He will even try to eat with it in there.) Don't you also love the ONE giant shoe that he is wearing. He has found that he can't walk around with both of The Man's shoes on so he just struts his stuff in one. Then there is the beloved car. It is a rare moment when GMan body is not touching some part of this contraption. Santa sure got this one right when he gifted it to my child. It is the best purchase ever made, well, after the empty Orajel bottle. :)

Fireman Gman

Don't you just love those simpler times when you didn't even need to pay the quarter to make the firetruck move in order to have a good time?

I love this easy to please child.

Saturday Playin

We love spending Saturdays together since we hardly see each other during the week. This said, we don't usually do really awesome activities or go to really cool places. One frequent Saturday was one of those days when we just went to the mall for some sunglasses and later to the park. We got some hilarious footage though.

I need to preface some of the folowing videos by pointing out that I have an EXTREMELY cautious child. He does not do anything adventuresome like climb on things or jump off places. Stairs are taken with extreme care whether it is walking or climbing them and even sliding off of the couch is proud moment for him. With that said I nearly peed my pants laughing when we took him to the park and introduced him the the slides.

We started him off nice and easy on the little slide that slows him down half way. After dozens of rides we took it up a notch and introduced him to the twisty slide.

The Man took him to the top and without hesitation this is what GMan did over and over. I also must note that this was his slowest ride down. Most were pretty fast.

I don't know what it is about the slides that brings out the daredevil in my child but I guess we all have our thrills. :)

Funny boy

I don't know if I have ever mentioned that my child has some funny quirks (sp?). I won't mention them all here but the one that has always cracked me up is his love of floor mats. He loves to sit on them and play. There was a point on this childs young life that whenever you went looking for him he was sitting on the mat by the front door playing with his toys. That love extended to the rug by the kitchen sink and then progressed to even the mats in the bathroom. I do not profess to understand this strange infatuation but it reached new heights during a recent snow storm. We got something like 10 inches of snow overnight so The Man went out the next day to shovel our walks and driveway. I was cleaning the house and I came into the living room to this sight

Yup. Gman couldn't watch dad shovel the walks with the mat in the kitchen, so he dragged the kitchen rug to the window to watch. He was sitting earlier but by the time I got the camera he stood up in order to yell directions through the window. See the pointed finger? It was hilarious.

Not already!?!?!?

One morning I walked into the living room to this sight:

Yup, that's my handsome husband teaching my sweet baby how to play video games. I thought my eyes were deceiving me or that I was still dreaming but no such luck. Lucky for me Gman was not good at all yet. Hopefully he will get frustrated and give up video games and stick with the books he loves so much. :)

A few minutes later he decided he was done being under dad's tutelage and took a stab by himself. He was no good. Woo hoo!
