And the Adventures of Michael Hugh Continue...

Adventure #1: Daddy & Michael's Lunch Date

Dustin and Michael go out to lunch together every Saturday, usually to McDonald's, (Michael's favorite place). It gives the guys some quality time hanging out and gives me some much needed quiet time. Since this Saturday was so busy, the guys lunch date was changed to Sunday, which was fine. However, there was one change that Michael was not fine with...Dustin had decided to go to Wendy's instead of "Donald's". So, in protest, Michael starts yelling, "No, Daddy, I wanna go to Donald's". Dustin tried to tell him that it was the same thing and he could still eat his cheeseburger with ketchup and french fries on it. Puffed up and pouting, Michael blurted out, "Michael wanna drive!" I guess he thought he'd just drive himself if Dustin wasn't going to!

Adventure #2: Gum Ambush

Michael went to his cousin Allison's fourth birthday party Saturday. He had a great time and left with a Hannah Montana gum roll as a party favor. He had forgotten about it and I found it in the truck the next day. While I was sitting outside talking with Dustin and watching Michael play, I got busted chewing a piece of his gum. He seen me chewing and ran to me yelling, "That's mine! I wanna bite!" I really didn't know what he was talking about at first. Then, it happened...he GRABBED my mouth and pulled it open, grabbed the gum and stuck it in his mouth. I was laughing so hard I couldn't even compose myself to ask him what he was doing! He ran off playing like nothing had happened and I was left there with no gum trying to pick Dustin up off the ground from laughing at me. I told Dustin I felt violated! LOL!

Adventure #3: Pool Hopper

Our neighbors were getting their pool set up yesterday evening and Michael was getting excited watching her two kids play and splash in the water. He kept asking me, "Michael swim?". Company had just arrived at the house and we were about to eat dinner, so I told him no, to sit down and eat his pizza. He kept on until he was in a full blown hissy fit over the pool. So, the rest of us went inside to get our plates and left the backdoor open where Michael could go in and out and play. While inside, I hear the neighbor SCREAM my name! I jumped up, but Dustin had already beat me outside. I assumed that he was crying to swim and she was going to offer to let him (she has several times in the past and once already that afternoon). Dustin came back inside carrying Michael and holding him awkwardly. He was bear hugging him around the back like something had scared him. When I asked what was wrong and why the neighbor was screaming, he said that when he got outside, Michael had CLIMBED THE CHAIN-LINKED FENCE AND ALREADY HAD ONE LEG OVER THE TOP WHEN THE NEIGHBOR PICKED HIM UP OFF OF THE FENCE!!!!! When I asked Michael why he was climbing the fence, he said, "Michael wanna swim"! What!?!?! Did my TWO YEAR OLD BABY really just CLIMB a 4-foot tall FENCE to go SWIMMING!?!?! I'm still in shock! What do you even say about something like this? He's TWO, not TWELVE!!! Whatever's next, I don't want to think about it! :D
