A couple quick funnies I will forget by morning

After dinner we all sat on the couch to watch the game.  Liam can't sit.  He gets a ball and glove and plays catch with himself and the dog.  After a bit he picked up a soft toy, just the size to fit in his hand, and for some reason winged it at Seamus.  It hit Seamus on the head and Ger and I both jumped all over Liam.  "Why would you DO that?"  "What is WRONG with you?" "What are you thinking?" Liam looked properly sorry which made Seamus laugh and say "Well THAT'S going to hurt in the morning."  He totally let Liam off the hook which was very cute.

Seamus has been potty training and we find keeping him bare-bottomed helps a lot.  He ran to go pee and came back to report.  We got to talking about it and I said "You know baby Nick goes poop in the potty", something Seamus refuses to do (Nick is just 20 months old).  Seamus starts mumbling so you can barely hear him. It was like he was trying to think of an excuse and talk at the same time.  All I heard was "Good boy Nick", then some mumbles.  Then, "Well he SHOULD go in the potty" and then something about his poops stinking worse the Seamus' did.  Then he tried to come up with one more good reason but I couldn't hear it at all.  Just mumbles.

We went to bed and read from our book (which by the way is an AWESOME book and I look forward to reading it every night.  My sister Sue recommended it.  It's call "Danny Champion of the World" and is written by Roald Dahl who wrote "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" among other great things.  So far my boys have learned to poach pheasant and drive an old car at 2 AM and hide from the cops.  It's a great book).  We read our chapter and I was kissing them good night and Liam said "Mom, did I do anything to make you laugh today."  That tugged at the heart a bit.  He's so serious but sees how great it is that Seamus is so funny.  I like how Seamus lightens him up a bit and Liam shows Seamus there's more to life then laughs.  

In this case though he had done something.  He was being very goofy catching his ball today to make Seamus laugh.  Seamus belly laughs and it's very contagious.  So Liam threw his wiffle ball up and let it bounce off his head.  The dog let it bounce off of his head too and it was really funny.  We thought the dog part was an accident but Liam picked up the ball again and threw it up, bounced it off his head and Pooka did it again.  

Now they are tucked in bed, 880 AM tuned in so they can hear the game.  I finally got a clue and turned it down low so that they have to keep quiet to hear it.
