Evel Knievel the next generation

I just found my son trying to roller skate down our stairs (luckily it wasn't the top of the staircase were I can't see him (wall in the way). I told him no and he took of his roller skates. He has those Little Tike Adjustable Roller Skates that you can put over their shoes. He loves them. LOL!!!! What will that boy try to do next? Everytime I turn around he is trying to do something that might hurt him, like jumping off the deck railing, climbing the fence, hanging over a railing and so forth. Oh the life of a little boy, always excitement!!!

Mommy, Can We Chase the Ice Cream Man?

Today, I was out mowing the lawn. I was doing the lawn by the carport/garage first. Edward was riding his bike on the driveway area. He heard the music of the ice cream man. He came over to me, so I stopped mowing. He said "Mommy, Can We Chase the Ice Cream Man?". I told him that I didn't have any cash, he said you do to, in the car (we keep change in there from when we are given it back from buying something). So I told him if the Ice Cream Man was out front when we were up there for me to mow the front lawn, I would buy him an ice cream. He took this to mean that we were going to chase the Ice Cream man. He grabbed his bike and started running down the back alley with me following pushing the mower with me. Needless to say I was about half of the way done with the front yard before we saw the Ice Cream Man's Van. He was about 2 streets down from ours (we could see him). Edward went to the road (I was with him) and was waving him down, screaming "STOP HERE ICE CREAM MAN!!" It took everything I had not to bust up laughing right there in the street. Guess we will be seeing a lot of the ice cream man this summer since Edward seems to be able to hone in on the music that the Ice Cream Man plays, even in the house.

Such a little Gentleman!

Yesterday Edward and I went to the post office while we were doing errands. He saw some women with their arms full, and he went and held the door open for them. He was very polite and so sweet. I was so proud of my son in that very moment, I know that we are raising him well.

Backwards Underwear

This morning, I noticed that Edward had his underwear on backwards. I told them that the hole in the underwear needed to be in the front. Well he turned them around, and show me that the hole was in the front with pulling his penis out. I told him that that was exactly what the whole in the underwear was for, so that he didn't have to pull down his underwear to go pee. He said no, that he goes pee like this. He pulled his penis out over the top of his underwear, I said that that was okay too but they put in hole in the underwear so that you could do it that way too. I thought that this was the end of the conversation. NO!!! I picked up the phone to call Kirk to see what he wanted for dinner and when he might be home from his trip, Edward takes the phone from me. He doesn't say hi daddy, not I miss you.....just goes right into telling Kirk that He pees like this (showing daddy who is not even in the room, let alone the state but on the other end of the phone) and he doesn't want to use the hole to pee, he wont put his penis in the hole. Kirk has no clue what Edward is talking about other than peeing and something to do with a hole. I can't help myself, I am cracking up the whole time. Picturing what Kirk is thinking in his mind about this subject that Edward is being very adament about with him. Edward hands me back the phone, not good-bye daddy, not I will see you soon, just stops talking about peeing and the hole and hands the phone back to me. I asked Kirk if he had any idea what that was all about. Kirk said peeing in holes? I laughed and told him, well sorta. I explained the whole thing and then he understood. That child!!
