Spud started the day with a giant poop, then he peed on the wall and himself (not Daddy! Celebrate the small things) when his diaper was being changed, then, when Daddy was reaching over to clean the wall, he sneezed right in Daddy's face.
So, we took a bath, and came downstairs with a fresh diaper and a fresh dinosaur onesie.
I cruised Youtube for some videos that might be entertaining to his tiny, rudimentary pseudo-brain (and let's face it, this was before Daddy had coffee, so we both had the same brain). I found some cool videos for kids by They Might Be Giants.
I played it full screen, and he loved it! Bright colors and fun music! 'We want cake! Where's our cake?' He made so many happy, excited, 'he he' noises that we had to watch the next one.
That one seems to be encouraging him to be some sort of unemployed slacker. It's the same message that the book Frederick conveys. His grandma gave him that book because she wants him to grow up to be a hippie (Thanks Grandma! Just kidding!).
Wow! He really liked that one. Lots of happy chirpy noises that might be proto-singing, almost. Kind of. By the way, they buried the lead on that one. Electric car? It's a car the DRIVES UNDERWATER. No wonder Japan is kicking Detroit's ass.
OK, one more. He just threw up all over the dinosaur onesie. Time for onsesie #3.
So there you go. You'll never get that 10 minutes back. But don't you feel strangely cheerful?

ReplyDeleteOh my god, that's so awesome! I know what we're doing this afternoon after daycare :)
I love these little insights into what goes on when I leave the house every morning...:)
ReplyDeleteMy 11 year old son found these amusing, but suggests that you check out Barenaked Ladies as Spud gets a little older.. (In particular the "Snack Time" album.) ;-)

Grandma says she wants SPUD to be a poet...like Grandma...NOT A HIPPIE....Frederick doesn't even look like a hippie...no straggly hair...no pipe...he's just HIGH on life. Now just get over yourself. Tell SPUD Grandma will read Frederick to him if Daddy won't.
ReplyDeleteoh...by the way..the videos were awesome....
ReplyDeleteO.k. now I'm a little afraid of the number 7.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the Pocoyo videos on Youtube, they are in Spanish or Portuguese and are very nice for little kids but the They Might Be Giants music is better. Irena is all about Sylvester and Tweety on Youtube right now. And Going on a Bear Hunt too....
