When they get older

I have been a real slacker on blogging and I'm going to try and improve.

Here is part of a comment Chase made to me.

"daddy when I get older, and if you are still alive..."

I was so moved by this. :-)

I've Got To Go Pee Pee

"I've got to go pee pee." Those are words that seem to come out of no where from Chase's mouth and it often seems to be at the most inconvenient times.

One evening Seth and Chase and I went to the UPS depot to pick up a package that we missed the delivery. We had been in line for 30 minutes and were finally next when I heard "I've got to go pee pee." This statement is also expressed rarely loudly and in a very urgent manner. It is also followed by a quick grab to his lower regions with both hands and a very stressed expression on his face. History tells us that time is of the essence and not to dilly dally. At this particular incident at UPS I quickly looked around and saw no public restroom. I also assessed the line behind us and knew if I got out of line, we were going to have another 30 minute wait. So, I began a high stakes gamble with time. Fortunately, I won the gamble and was able to get out to the parking lot where Chase was able to hose down my tire.

Today, we went to a movie and had made it right to the end. We were coming to the exciting conclusion when the words "I've got to go pee pee" echoed through the theatre. Again, I assessed the situation and knew if we left we couldn't get back in time so another gamble with time was undertook and again I won. I know my luck is about to run out.
