Untold Stories

Well, for the sake of the grandparents I am going to try to start journaling some of the funny/crazy/weird things these two boys of mine do that make life around here so fun! Toddlerhood is providing tons of these funny stories, but we don't always remember to relay them on the phone, so I will try to keep you posted here!

Let's start with this one:

I was outside with the boys working in the flowerbeds on Tuesday evening. I was thinning out and transplanting some of the irises. Alex was in charge of watering--the child loves the hose. Thankfully there is good drainage in my flowerbeds as Alex was pretty much trying to recreate the Biblical Deluge in my yard. Sam in charge of playing in the dirt and hopefully not eating any--a fave of his. Well, it was a pretty warm night and before I knew it Alex had started watering his feet, hands, pantlegs. No big deal...have fun kiddo! At one point I saw him hold the hose over his head, "I watey (water) Alex!" was his breathless exclamation. Still no big deal. Plant another iris. All of the sudden I hear Sam take in a huge, shocked breath...turn around...Alex is watering Sam. Yep holding the hose directly over his head, water cascading down the poor boy! He never cried, just looked shocked! We've been talking about how the plants grow with water and sunshine, so maybe he was trying it out on Sammy!!
