Fair Day 2009, this one will make you laugh!!

Good boys all day!

We had such a great time.

A few things that happened today...

When we got into the fair gates there was a ride that CJ really wanted to go on but he wasn't tall enough and he couldn't ride with an adult so he was sooooo sad...he had the saddest face and started crying. We thought that was going to be the start of a not so fun mood day but it wasn't! Thank God!

After we ate our corny dogs "honey dogs" as CJ called them, we were pushing the stroller through crowds of people and there was this one man that was disgruntled to have to move out of the corny dog line so we could push our "bus" through...Clark pushed the stroller through and I was with CJ behind them...as we moved past that man, CJ deliberately took one step closer to him and pushed him but it wasn't where anyone would have really known what just happened-he did it discreetly where only CJ, that man and myself really knew what happened. It caught me off guard that he actually picked up on the fact that the man didn't want to move so instead of saying "Now CJ...." I just laughed at the guy, "thinking my 3-year just figured out that you were being a real a** and he just called you out with a little shove for your own good!" Now who all in our family, and extended family does that sound like!!!???

Then a little later, we went by this huge iron elephant and CJ and Mark just had a blast. A couple minutes went by and we turned around to see CJ's little white rear end facing us...he was peeing, after all, we were outside. "Pull your pants up CJ!" Then Clark said, "we don't potty outside...uh...unless we're at home!"

We were so excited for the Backyard Circus and we just knew this year CJ was old enough to be in it. CJ sat so quietly at the front by himself...it was so sweet to see him sit so nicely. We told him to raise his hand when there was a part of the circus that they needed kids to participate in...when that time came, he would raise his hand for a little bit, then put it down before the guy could see it. We yelled a few times, "Raise your hand!" but he couldn't hear us. He would have been perfect for the lions and tigers part. When he didn't get picked, Clark and I were so sad. We could see our baby sitting up at the front so sweetly, our hearts sank. Clark said, "let's go, we never get picked for this damn circus." It was so sad to see him sad. We decided to spend our time at the petting zoo and the little farm area for kids. They had fun there!!

After we were about to be home, CJ was talking to us from the back seat and out of the blue he said, "I'm going to throw Mommy and Daddy up to Jesus and God in the sky because they'll really like it there." Where he got this, I don't know! His mind is so imaginative.
