Fun and Laughter

Posted April 29th, 2007 by Mom |

Almost every night, I sing to J a song that I made up soon after he was born. Sometimes he requests his song, sometimes I volunteer. It goes like this:

J-, J- precious boy,
you’re your mama’s bundle of joy
with your eyes bright and blue
and your smile ever true,
J-, J- precious boy,
you’re your mama’s bundle of joy!

C also has his song that I made up shortly after he was born. It goes like this:

Oh C-, Oh C-,
Mommy loves you so.
Oh C-, Oh C-
you’re my precious boy.
you light my life and make me smile
each and every day
Oh C-, Oh C-
Mommy loves you so!

J and C can be so funny and can make me smile (and/or laugh) everyday. Here are some examples:

1. J had been playing with a toy truck outside in the sandbox. He brought it in stating that it needed to be washed and proceeded to the refrigerator to “wash” it where the water sprays out so we can fill water glass in the refrigerator door. Needless to say, J started whining that he was wet from the water spraying him! After changing his clothes, I got to wash the truck in the sink.

2. J loves riding his tricycle (that was mine when I was little). Sometimes it is his tricycle, sometimes he calls it his “ride on lawnmower,” “weedeater,” “train,” “telephone line repair truck,” “giant excavator,” etc. Always a surprise what he is riding in his imagination.

3. C enjoys walking around with headphones on, carrying my I-pod. He knows how the buttons work, even though he hasn’t mastered reading yet. The kid is technologically savvy.

4. C and J love to play “rough and tumble” with Daddy, but are mostly gentle with Mommy calling me a “fragile flower.” How sweet!

5. After C’s t-ball game yesterday, B and I took the boys to get ice cream. C decided that he would rather go home (he was REALLY tired) so I got C and J their ice cream to bring home. When we got home, J was eating his ice cream and said, “Mommy, please warm up my ice cream.” (?)

These boys can be so rambunctious, but can also be so much fun! Goodness, my life would be very dull without them. Thank you, God, for letting us borrow these angels!
