Tis the season…to take family photos! When my cousin’s wife asked me to take their family photo, I was excited. Well, her guys…um, not so much. Especially Ty, the ‘lil man.
Dad was a good sport, but look at the ‘lil man, would ya? I felt right at home. This is the same face B gave me when I asked him if we could put up Christmas lights on the house, again, this year. Shocking question, I know. I use the term we very loosley. I meant we as in, “ Baby, I’ll open the boxes, straighten the lights, hand them to you. I’ll be with you in spirit as you climb on top of our steep roof , fight the ice cold wind, hold on for dear life, and hang them. You know, like we did last year!”
Again, B’s expression. No words needed. I firmly believe you should hang up Christmas lights. It strengthens your marriage, sort of.
So, I started talkin’ to the ‘lil man. He showed me his boo boo. We were friends.
When I asked to use one of Ty’s favorite toys, I was expecting mom to bring me a…oh I don’t know…ugh, a funny lookin’ stuffed animal? Oh no. I got a hermonica. :: Please see my post from yesterday:: I was holding the camera and attempting to hold a tune. Not to mention, my balance. :: Again, reference yesterday’s post. It will help you sympathize with me:: Well, Ty got a kick out of it. If he could use complete sentences, I’m sure he was asking Daddy, “Who is this clown?”
After a few good laughs, Ty was a champ. Like B, he tolerated me for the rest of the day. Thanks ‘‘lil man.
Blessings from the field-
