A Few of J How's Favorite Things

No, not small paper packages tied up with string.  I only wish he were that easily amused!  How prefers being a bit more active (and a bit more destructive!)  His latest interests include golf (go figure), water fountains and sweeping.  

He starts at the top of the stairs, perfectly positioning the ball on the grout and takes aim.  I heard a loud crash yesterday as How hit the ball with such impact ... the head flew off the club and into the kitchen.  I was a bit alarmed but that's what you get for buying your kid's clubs at Walmart!  


After a game of STAIR GOLF, How likes to take a refreshing break with the cups and water.  This activity is a bit like Groundhog Day.  Here is a typical conversation:
How: "Oh wow.  Water."
Me:  "Yep."
How:  "Oh bubbles."
Me:  "Yep. The water makes bubbles."
How:  "Here, you do it, Mom."  (Wanting me to fill up the cups with water).  
Me:  Fill up all the cups and dump the water.
How:  "Thank you, Mom."
Twenty seconds later ... 
How:  "Oh wow.  Water."   You get the idea ...  
Not bad ... but just replay that conversation - WORD FOR WORD - about 39 more times.  He's a bit like a broken record but it keeps him entertained. 


And finally ... SWEEPING!  He didn't learn this one from me which might explain why his technique needs a bit of polishing.  Oh well ... he's not super productive but he sure does think sweeping is fun.  Think I can keep him fooled for much longer?

Did anybody else notice that How lost articles of clothing as the post continued?

  1. So, it begs the question - what does he like to do naked?
