Adam's Talent Show Performance

Adam's New Glider Bike

Adam was finally able to play with his new bike today. He has been working on earning it for about 3 months doing very strenuous jobs mapped out on a chore chart. Chores include eating his vegetables, picking up his toys, making his bed, etc.

Once I got home from work I asked him to show off his sweet new ride. Of course he bolted to the closet and grabbed his helmet, nice work, his mom must have taught him that, then he ran to the back yard, in his socks of course, maybe his mom taught him that too......not sure.

I was totally stoked about the bike and his mad riding skills. He, on the other hand, was more stoked about the horn.........the horn came with the helmet. So, I am posting this to show off his new bike, and Adam is posting this to show off his new horn.

Now I need to build him some jumps.

Happy St Patricks Day

You can't share snacks with cartoons

Being a dad, I take great pleasure in passing wisdom and knowledge on to my son. Perhaps I can give him a bedrock of logic and reason with which to build his thoughts and his life.

So Adam and I were watching Despicable Me and he comes in with a handful of pretzels. "Daddy," he says, "will you do me a favor?"

"Of course, bud, what is it?"

"Will you help me put the pretzels into the TV for the minions?"

With a cute little guy standing there sincerely asking for help, the image of sticking pretzels into the monitor and seeing the minions crunching on them immediately played in my mind. I'm pretty sure Willy Wonka could do it.......but like I was saying, wisdom and knowledge, yada yada yada, "Oh, uh, Adam.....the minions are cartoons......they are not real, they are just graphics and sounds played from the DVD......plus, you can not put snacks into the TV and it would be a very bad idea to even try....... but it is very thoughtful of you to want to share with them, buddy."

He was very disappointed.

Nice! I did it.

If that's not a bedrock of logic and reason, I don't know what is.
