Take my lil man, for instance. He loves his books, can't get enough of them at home and spends so much time looking at them or bringing them over for us to read yet take him to the bookstore and all he wants to do is play with the train table!
He's such an intelligent lil boy - he's figured out that if you press the button in the garage then the, (newly fixed) garage door moves up or down. He has also, this evening, worked out how to put the surround-sound system on. We spent about five minutes listening to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, not watching it, before he decided to turn it off again.
The sudden onset of sound didn't disturb him in the least. His daddy, however, was a different matter - he was upstairs in the bathroom at the time but heard the almighty sound of the surround system.
Once he was finished in the bathroom he came out complaining about the inconsiderate neighbours having a party and being extremely noisy! He called them bloody A-holes!!! LOL
I had to laugh and remind him that we don't have the same neighbours we used to, now it's just one lady that lives next door by herself and it wasn't her that was having a house warming party tonight!
Then I told him off for calling his son an A-hole!!
It was funny, though I guess I'd best fix the cabinet doors so the lil munchkin won't be pulling that stunt again!
Oooh and I forgot to add the best part about this evening! *L*
We were in EMS, (outdoors store) earlier and one of the lil man's fave ladies who works there offered us her services as a babysitter cos she thinks he's brill!!!
She gave us her phone number and said to give her a call if we want her to look after him sometime.
Y'know when you can just tell whether someone's a good 'un or not? Well, I have that feeling about her and, though she offered references if we wanted them, I declined. She just comes across as a totally nice person and she 'n' the lil man have a blast whenever we go into that store!
So, there's every possibility of us going out for one of they 'date nights' sometime and I'm well-excited about it - I've not been out socially of an evening for, ooohhh, about three years or so!!!
Now, if the Hubster would just have the consideration to finish not being well we could start planning! *L*
