Kaden loves Smokey, Cathy Doesn't!!



Sunday was Mother's Day! To celebrate my family came to our house and ate lunch. I absolutely love being with my family. We always have such a good time - lots of fun and lots of laughter. Yesterday was no exception. Two notable events happened yesterday both involving my two year old nephew.

First Funny Moment:
Our love seat is in the shop being repaired and so there is lots of open space for Kaden to run and play in. Numerous times, he would stand in from of the oven and run as fast as his little legs would go and plow right into our ottoman. After a few times of doing this, he began to try to jump onto the ottoman without the running start which was a pretty tough feat for him considering he's barely taller than it is. On one jump, he hit the ottoman with his little shoulder and bounced off! Cathy & I stopped - silent. Once we heard Kaden giggle, obviously not hurt, we burst into convulsive laughter. Imagine. It was like slow motion: Kaden hit the ottoman, rolled/bounced onto the floor and being concealed as he descended behind the ottoman. Then - silence - followed by roars of laughter.

Second Funny Moment:
Brooks has a UT Smokey doll. You push it's hand and it sings "Rocky Top" or chants "I say it's great to be a TN vol" over and over and over and over and over again. Kaden used to be deathly afraid of this doll. Dogs are not supposed to dance and sing. Now I wish he were still afraid of it! He, unknowingly and innocently, tortured us with the two chants coming from this synthetic dog! Over and over - until Kaden left the room. Cathy quickly snatched up Smokey and hid him. Poor Kaden, heartbroken he asks "Where Smokey?" The response, "He went to sleep." Smokey's nap didn't last long because Kaden found him. When Kaden left the room again, Cathy found an even better hiding spot. Here's where & how Smokey wound up:


Poor Smokey!
