Super Dad! (Micah-isms)

Yesterday, I took the kids to the gym so that we could all kill some time and Mommy could burn some calories. There is a great little "day care" for the kids, which they love. One of the fun things is the huge play place (like you see at McD's). As soon as we walked in, Micah took of his shoes and went running for the slide! After my work out, I picked the kids up, and had Micah put his shoes on. As we were leaving, I noticed his shoes were on the wrong feet. I mentioned this to Micah, and being the highly obedient child he is (or can be) he sat down on the sidewalk and switched his shoes. Not quite what I had in mind, but I appreciated the obedience.

After the gym, we ran to HEB. As all you HEB going mommies know, your child will often get a balloon (or in this story, bubba-oon) upon entering the store. Despite the fact that it's more challenging to drive the huge car shaped grocery cart while dodging two balloons, I let the kids each have one. Unfortunately, when we left the store, Ben's balloon blew away. While I was buckling the kids in, Micah asked where Baby Ben's bubba-oon was. I told him that it blew away. Always quick with a solution, Micah said, "If Daddy were here, he jump in the sky and get Baby Ben's bubba-oon! Yay Daddy!"

Didn't you know Curtis could jump in the air and rescue all bubba-oons that have blown away, with his maroon cape billowing in the wind behind him? No gust of breeze is too strong for him. He truly is Super Dad in the eyes of his son!
