Public Announcement
Feb 22nd, 2007 by Tana
One of the silly things Ben has been doing recently is narrating what he sees happening.
When I nurse Joey, he comes over and points at Joey and says, “He’s eating milk.” As though we didn’t know.
Or he’ll tell us what his toys are doing as he plays with them. “Mr. Bunny is sleeping,” he’ll say.
The absolute funniest one, though, has to be when he comes out to where Steve and I are (sitting on the couch or something) and announces, “I go jump on the bed!” He says that, and then immediately runs back to his room, climbs on his bed, and starts jumping. I’m serious – he’s done this more than once.
Of course, he isn’t allowed to jump on the bed, and he knows that. Why he comes out and announces that he is about to do just that is more than I’ll ever understand. It’s hilarious just the same. The only downside is having to control one’s laughter enough to go back and seriously tell him to stop jumping on the bed.
Oh my!
Hmmm… so they say that God looks at the child you have, and then give you one that is just exactly the opposite. You’d better keep a close eye on Joey, he might be a sneaky one who is not quite so open to announcing the naughty acts he is about to commit. Hah!
