Rick Marshall
We let Cooper watch Land of the Lost all the time. I know, it isn't appropriate for a four year old, but he loves it. Who are we to stand in the way of a four year old's favorite movie?
This version of Land of the Lost stars Will Ferrell as Dr. Rick Marshall. Another Will Ferrell movie was on the other night and Blake was watching it. Both Evan and Cooper watched it too - Old School. Another completely inappropriate movie for kids, but whatever.
Anyway, as Old School was playing, Cooper turned to his dad and asked, "What is Rick Marshall doing in this movie?"
Blake had to explain that there is no Rick Marshall. That Rick Marshall is actually Will Ferrell. That Will Ferrell is an actor. That Land of the Lost isn't a real place.
Next thing you know, Cooper's going to wonder if Santa Claus is real.

Ear Bug
I'm a little late posting this story, but it deserves a post. We'll want to remember this one day, I'm sure...
So, I pick Coop up at the sitter's and she tells me Coop said a bug flew in his ear. She's got the tweezers out and is trying to locate it, telling me that she got a hold of it and pulled a wing off. I take a look and can't see a thing, but I'm concerned enough to call the pediatrician. They tell me I need to bring him in right away - the bug has to come out.
So I drop Evan at Van and Cheryl's, pick up Blake, and we're off to KC to the pediatrician - who, by the way, is open in the evening for sick kids! I didn't know this! Yay! Saved an ER visit! Yay!
I told Coop on the way down that there would probably be some water in his ear while the doctor tried to get the bug out. He didn't seem to concerned - he really wasn't acting like it was hurting too much. While we were in the waiting room, I asked Coop if the bug was his friend. He told me that it wasn't. I asked him if he wanted to name the bug and he told me he'd call the bug "Butthole". That's my boy I know and love!
When the doctor comes in, he tries to water pic the bug out. The bug won't budge. He digs around. The bug won't budge. Coop handled the water pic ok. But the digging around was a whole other story. You can consider Coop really pissed at this point. Then the doc gets the water pic out again and it takes all three of us to hold Coop down. It was awful, but the bug finally came out. And there was a lot of blood.
We were concerned that Coop's ear drum had burst, and we made a follow up appointment for the following week. When we took him back, the doc said that his ear drum was fine. Apparently there was enough blood when they finally got the bug out that he couldn't tell, but now that it was healing, he could see that the bug had actually burrowed in to the side of Coop's ear canal! WTH!
But Cooper's a trooper. He mentioned "Butthole the Bug" tonight, but otherwise, he's fine! What a freaking deal.

Stupid Cats
Evan loves the movie "Aristocats". She watches it every day at our babysitter's house. When I picked the kids up tonight, she told me that Evan tore up her Aristocats movie - it was a VHS tape and Evan pulled the tape out. So tonight at dinner, I told Blake to ask Evan about tearing up the movie.
Blake: Evan, did you tear up Aristocats today?
Evan: Uh huh.
Blake: Why did you do that?
Evan: Cause I wanted to.
Blake: Why?
Evan: Stupid cats.
Please remember that Evan turned two in June. Wow. We're in trouble.

Cooper the Comic
A "funny" courtesy of Cooper...
Cooper: Where's Mom going?
Dad: She went inside to get you something to drink.
Cooper: She's pretty nice.
Dad: Yep, she is.
Cooper: But sometimes she gets pissy, right?
Cooper: Where's Mom going?
Dad: She went inside to get you something to drink.
Cooper: She's pretty nice.
Dad: Yep, she is.
Cooper: But sometimes she gets pissy, right?
Gotcha!
Evan is, quite possibly, the world's best when it comes to ignoring someone when they want to take her picture. That's why this one is so special.Wednesday, August 25, 2010
I AM Needed!
Had to leave for work early today and left Blake in charge of getting the kids dressed and off to the sitter's. He sent Evan without any shoes. See, I am needed.
