bedtime stories

Since it's Thursday night and Jen works late...I've got lil man.  I normally go to her place and watch him, wait for her to get home from work and then head back to my crib and go to bed.  Tonight we are trying something new since she has to work well after midnight.  I don't sleep well at her place during the week because I am paranoid about oversleeping and all types of other stuff, but I digress.  I'm at my house and so is lil man.  I met up with Jen at Food Kitty and took lil man, she went to work and we headed to my house (after a quick trip to mom's house to pick up Shadow the Pekinese) Side note: Mom is at the beach judging a fishing tournament, Aunt Melissa, Trouble the dog, and Earl the dog are all there... Mandi left today with baby Charley to go to Radford to see the baby daddy so I get to dog sit until everyone decides to come home....

So I made a kick ass dinner... burgers that were seasoned beyond my wildest expectations, pierogies which I freaking love and was fiending.... and steamed broccoli...mmmmm

So I get lil man out of the shower, teeth brushed, pj's on... I had to smile because earlier after dinner while I was loading the dishwasher... lil man randomly said:

Lil Man: "Tommy, I love you"
Me: Oh yeah, I love you too buddy
LM: I love you like a jack rabbit
Me: Thank you, I think...

So anyway, I was tucking him and getting ready to read to him when Jen called me to help me figure out all of my blogging dilemmas.... her phone was taking forever to load so I told her I was going to go ahead and read to him while she figured stuff out.  I read him Fluffy meets the dinosaur with my phone resting on my shoulder... so I read Jen a bedtime story for the first time ever, as well, lol.  Fluffy is a guinea pig you see and the class that takes care of him go to a dinosaur museum and Fluffy sneaks into a bagged lunch so he can see the dinos... it's a pretty cute book.  Lil man picked it out at the library our last trip to the library. 

The situation was cute in my opinion.  Jen was quiet and seemed attentive as I read...and I even made sure to describe the pictures in case something wasn't going to make sense as I read, lol.  I dunno, just cracked me up.  She told me it was "exciting."  She's always been amused by how lil man and I relate...

When he was in the shower today, I went to check on him and he had his face smooshed against the shower door...I had to laugh.  This kid is amusing to say the least. 

I snapped a few pics of his face smooshed against the glass...ensuring to not get anything below the shoulders, since I didn't want any accusations of kiddie porn thrown my way...the world is crazy these days you know.  Crazy.
