My buddy Chase and I have been enjoying the spring season lately, playing outside and playing with friends– his favorite activities! I’ve noticed that the always-moving Chase has been getting injured a lot; you’ll notice in the photos below that he has lots of cuts and scratches, along with a recovering fat lip. I have a feeling that this is foreshadowing what might happen this upcoming summer… But let’s hope not!
I am enjoying the fact that Chase is becoming more mature and fun to play with! He’s old enough to enjoy all sort of new experiences. Today we got the Friend magazine for the first time, which was fun to look through and discuss with Chase. And tomorrow we’re having an Easter egg hunt at the park with some young kids from the ward (I’ll post about that later).
Meanwhile, Chase has been dancing a lot, counting to thirteen (?), saying the alphabet the best he can, and singing. Tonight he was singing/yelling nonstop while we watched the first part of American Idol. I kept having to rewind parts of it so I could actually hear. Watch out, America, you may see him on that show… in about 15 years!!! Chase also enjoys knowing who I’m talking to on the phone, and sometimes he guesses who it is by the end of the phone call if I’ve mentioned their name or their kids’ names during the conversation. It’s entertaining. Speaking of entertaining, here are two little conversations that popped up tonight:
At dinner time…
Pace: "Here’s some corn, Chase."
Chase: "Deh-dew, Daddy!" ("Thank you, Daddy!")
Joy: You’re so polite, Chase! Good boy!
Chase: "Welpum, Mommy." (You’re welcome, Mommy.")
At bed time…
Joy: "Daddy and Mommy got married in the temple."
Chase: (throwing arms up in the air) "Yay! Hooray! Yay Mommy, yay Daddy! Yeppers!"
