You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!

So my sister and Kevin planned a fun-filled evening with James and I last week! THANK YOU GUYS--we really did have a lot of fun! We went to see a "live" play of "The Christmas Story." This happens to be their favorite movie and they really wanted to share the play experience with James--we all were very impressed with this grown-up date we had planned. So, we all dressed up and made a night of it!

James was quiet as a mouse through the ENTIRE first part! He watched all the kids in the play and didn't miss a single thing...he was just soaking it ALL in. After "half-time" as James called it there was more! He intently watched the entire 2nd half as well! We were so happy (and I was relieved) that he had so much fun and acted so well-behaved. He really did watch all of it...we know this because when Saturday morning came he re-enacted it! Mostly just the "you'll shoot your eye out" part as he fake hit himself in the eye and fell on the floor. Over and over again. I thought how cute that he remembers part of the play. :)

A week later he gets a Nerf type plane launcher--guess what he did? He said, "I'm gonna shoot my eye out!" and he launched that plane right into his own eye! Ouch! Luckily no bruising or anything. Sara happened to be on the phone when this happened...or she may not have believed me! She did say that the play was supposed to have the opposite effect and that he was supposed to learn NOT to shoot his eye out, ha...ha!

Then, yesterday I'm out with a friend of mine and he yells "I gotta gooo Wee Wee!" OMG I about died laughing and had to explain to my friend the whole thing. Of course, we called Auntie right away and left this on her voicemail. So, note to self...remember to take Sara's kids to "The Christmas Story!" If you have any warnings on other almost grown-up things that should have warning labels...please let me know!!
