10:12 pm - S**t Happens
This may be a bit too much information for some, seeing that this does include a trip to the bathroom and such, but trust me...it's cute.
So Sean and I are hanging around the house this afternoon, playing with blocks and such (he can stack blocks, but dislikes it when Daddy tries to make a block tower and knocks it down every time)...when I had to wander off to the bathroom.
So I do so...and obviously leave the door open...one, because I want to make sure he's not into trouble: two, I figure he'll probably hang around anyway...and three, maybe he'll get the hint eventually and this will make potty training a bit easier.
Sean has reached that babbling stage; he is almost constantly chattering to us or to himself, and every now and then you can actually recognize a real word or two. So Sean comes running in and looks at me and babbles something that does come across as "what are you doing, Dad?"
Oh yeah...it's not Dada, or Daddy...it's Dad. Actually it sounds more like "Dat". But I digress...
"Well, Sean...I'm going poo-poo on the potty." Yes, I'm sure you all wanted to know that...
For whatever reason, Sean gets all excited about this, then suddenly stops...stares at me for a second...you could almost SEE the light bulb pop above his head and he runs off out of the bathroom.
Now this concerned me. Sean is a bright kid and KNOWS when he has a chance to get somewhere he usually can't get to, (like when a gate is down...he has a 6th sense about that)or explore something he's not normally allowed to (the garbage). So I'm thinking he's now realized that Daddy is "incapacitated" for a few moments and has run off to create mischief. So I call out to him...."Sean...? Sean Bear...? Little Man....?"
It's very quiet. Now I'm REALLY concerned.
Sean suddenly bursts back into the bathroom with 2 handfuls of his diapers, 5 in all. He's had this thing the last few days about playing with his diapers; reaching into the diaper bag, pulling them out and crumpling them, tearing them, whatever. He dumps them on the floor in front of me and runs off again.
He suddenly reappears with his wipes. he reaches down, grabs a couple of the diapers and hands me the wipes and the diapers.
So I chuckle to myself...."thank you, Sean"...and he's off again. I had just changed him, and I was wondering if he needed to be changed again...but just figured he was causing great diaper mischief again.
All is quiet for a few moments and I begin to become concerned again. Then I hear the quick running footfall of baby again and he runs back into the room...handing me his diaper rash creme. "Dat! Dis...!", he says (assumed translation..."You're gonna need this too, Dad.").
By now, I am cracking up. Apparently, he thought I was going to need all of this! Still, I must marvel at my son's ability at such a young age to logic this out and put the two together.
Still, I think...hope...I'm a few years from needing diapers and rash creme again. But thanks, kiddo...you were a big help.

You Are Helter Skelter
|
You are loud, rebellious, and prone to make a bit of a scene.
You have major problems with authority. You hate being told what to do.
You are independent and adventurous. Life is a wild ride, and you aren't afraid to jump on the roller coaster.
You are outrageous, honest, and sometimes shocking. You say what you feel and expect the same of others.

In light of what has happened and the stories surrounding his passing, this previously overlooked track (in which MJ does his best Trent Reznor/nine inch nails imitation) takes on a whole new meaning...and becomes a lot creepier.

02:37 pm - S.O.S.
It's official...I am the Greatest Uncle/God father in the World.
Both my niece Lily and Catrina are fans of the Jonas Brothers. Big time. As is typical for young girls lately.
And because I am the Greatest Ever...I got them tickets to their upcoming concert in July at the Palace.
Again, let me state this....GREATEST. EVER. I am so fraking rock.
However, as someone put it..."no good deed goes unpunished". This means I have to go to the show too.
Now on one level, this should be interesting. Word has it that this is going to be a very high tech show, with the Disney folks pulling out all the stops, including what is being described as a circular water video screen. The stage appears to be HUGE, spanning the length of the main floor (the upper level tickets now seem like a good idea). So if nothing else, this could be an interesting show to watch.
However...it's the Jonas Brothers...frak...in a room filled with thousands of screaming pre-pubescent and early teenaged girls...double frak. Definitely need to get ear plugs for this one; this could be painful on several different levels.
However...to see their faces when I tell them that they're going. That is gonna be priceless...and worth the potential discomfort.
Yeah....GREATEST. FRAKING. EVER.
