Story after Story after Story...

Ok, so I'm quite behind on all the funny, amazing things our son has come up with, so I decided to write a post including the most noteworthy ones. I included the date they occurred. The only one I'm not quite sure about the date is the first one.

I put this first story in a post that falls correctly in the time line, so click on the link to see the post.

~January 23, 2009 - An Amazing Imagination

When I was putting Christopher to bed for the night, I decided to let him help me tell a story. I would say a few words and then pause to see what he would say. His words are in bold.

One day, there was a boy named Joshua. And Joshua wanted to go outside. Because he felt sad. So Joshua found his friend Joshua, a chicken. So Joshua the boy and Joshua the chicken went outside to play. And they went to school. And at school they played soccer. They played soccer with all their friends. And the best thing about school was everything. After school, Joshua and Joshua went caroling. And when they were caroling they sang Jingle Bells (and he sang Jingle Bells). Sometimes when they sang the people gave them money. When they were done caroling, Joshua and Joshua took their money and went to the doctor. They went to the doctor and gave him the money so he could make them feel better. And after the doctor made them feel all better they went home. And they went to sleep, because they were happy. The end.

So creative. I love to see his imagination at work.

February 15, 2009 - My Name Was Cleared Today

For months we haven't been able to find one of our memory cards for our camera. Supposedly (and probably rightfully so - since I didn't put it back in the camera), I was the one who lost it. I remembered setting it on the desk after copying all the pictures from it on to our computer, but it was gone. Well, I was copying all the information off of our old floppy disks on to our computer so I could throw them away. When I ejected one of them, the metal piece came off and one got stuck in the floppy drive. When Andy came home, I asked him to get it out. Along with the metal piece that he pulled out, along came our missing memory card. Ahh, Christopher. And of course, this was also the day Andy went to use the toaster and pulled a mini chip clip out of it. It now stays unplugged except when in use.

February 17, 2009 - Our Doctor

While in the car on the way home from my mom's house, Christopher mentioned something about helping somebody that was hurt or sick or something like that. I said, "You like to help people, don't you Christopher? You like to make sure everyone is happy, healthy, and feeling good, huh?" His response? I like to make YOU feel better, Mommy. Ahh...right to my heart. =)

February 18, 2009 - Our Builder

I rearranged the house today - we moved the playroom to the former dining room where there is a set of double doors leading out to our back patio. When Christopher woke from his nap, he noticed the change and asked me if I had done that for him. "Yep." I replied. "Do you like it?" "Uh huh. Did you build the window for you, Mommy?" "Well, no. Whoever built the house put that door there." *pause...thinking, thinking:* "I built the house for you, Mommy." "You did?" "Uh huh. And the roof for you, Mommy." "Thanks, Buddy. That was nice of you." "You're welcome."

February 19, 2009 - Our Rabbit

Christopher walked in to the kitchen today, pulling a few strands of hair on top of his head straight up - one cluster in each hand. "What are you doing, Christopher?" "I'm a rabbit!"
"Oh. Are those your ears?" "Yes."

February 26, 2009 - Popcorn

Christopher ate probably the equivalent of an entire bag of popcorn by himself tonight. Mama, Anna Leigh, Christopher, Kaela and I went to a Dizney on Ice show at Freedom Hall. (Andy was in Memphis) I've never seen Christopher sit so still for anything. At one point he was sitting on my lap, and I actually asked Anna if he was breathing because I couldn't tell from behind him - not a muscle was moving. Anyway, I bought him a box of popcorn - which he's never had before - and he sat on mine or Mama's lap the entire 2 hours, staring at the floor in a trance and, without looking at the box, shoving popcorn in his mouth until over 1/2 the box was gone. Wow! Guess he likes popcorn. We had a lot of fun.

Ah, what a guy. We never stop laughing around here, so if you need to laugh, come on over!
