I thought I was on to something...

While watching my niece and nephew last week, we all decided to go to Dan's grocery store and get a few essentials before heading home from our evening out. I knew this would be a dangerous mission - 5 kids grocery shopping - one of them being a 2 year old, and not a docile one at that. But, I had a great idea! I thought that if we went to Dan's I could get them all cheap soft serve ice cream cones and that would keep them fairly happy while we quickly shopped. It was working like a charm except that Beckham found one of those little mini shopping carts for kids and wanted to push it around, while I held his ice cream cone (as well as the one I had for myself while I was pushing my big cart around- I'm not one to pass up ice cream.)
Let's just say - there was a Demon at Dan's that day! He became a shopping cart demolisher - running up and down the aisles with his little cart - running into and knocking down displays, purposefully running into the shelves and laughing at his madness. I finally got the cart away from him and stupid me, accidentally went up the toy aisle where he found a large toy machine gun with loud bullet noises. He then found delight in terrorizing the store patrons by pointing the gun at them and acting out their death scenes. This was a beautiful, proud parenting moment.

Jumpropin' disco singin' fool!

Alrighty! I'm back from an awesome trip to Honduras, but right now I am too tired to write about it...maybe tomorrow. BUT...I thought I would just post this cute video of Becks that I had on my digital camera while I was away. Everytime I would watch it I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Kerry and I wanted to post it to the blog so that anytime we needed a good mocking of our 2 year old, we could see it. These skills are going to take him far in this big world.

Here is Becks learning how to jumprope - with a little dancing at the beginning. He gets all of his coordination from Kerry.




The second clip is of him singing his favorite disco song from a CD his Auntie had made up for him, UPSIDE DOWN...I don't even know who sings it, but he requests it to be played everyday in the car and tries to sing the words. He climbed up on the counter and put it in the cd player, pressed play and sang to his hearts content:)

A few years down the road and these are going to come in handy when he's lookin' for the ladies.
