Yesterday Scott went golfing with his brother Ross who is in town for the week with some work training. In order to go Scott gets to take at least one of the kids with him. He took Indie this time. Last night as we were laying in bed Scott told me that every time Ross would take a practice swing Indie would say, "Aw! Miss!" and as soon as he would hit the ball, "Good shot!"

Indie's Antics

Indie has been doing amazing lately. His language has picked up and he is talking all the time, even if we can't understand him still some of the time, he is trying. The special ed preschool has been amazing for him and his social skills are increasing all the time. His favorite thing to do is ride his bike. Thursday is the only day he doesn't have preschool and I like to call it his naked day. He willing gets dressed most days, but on Thursday's he knows he doesn't have school and he likes to run around in his diaper most of the day. He still tends to wander a bit, but he sticks to certain areas and always comes back. Lately he likes to ride on the dirt trails that are off of a field down the street. This last Thursday I was folding laundry in the basement while watching one of my shows and Indie went upstairs with his train tracks. He tends to get really engrossed with them so I figured he was fully occupied. I little while later I went upstairs to check on him. He was gone, I knew he had gone to the dirt trails on his bike and sure enough, there he was in only a diaper, riding around! On a side note, after school is out we are going to try potty-training!

Apparently, I'm dumb!

What has caused me to come to this conclusion? Well let me tell you...

Exhibit A:
Two mornings ago I got going early in the morning and apparently I put too many things on my plate...I was trying to dye some pants darker, get the kids out the door to school, eat breakfast, listen to some scriptures and take care of Milo. If you know Milo at all you know that he should have been enough for me all by himself. On top of all that I decided to hand wash one of my shirts in my sink. I left the water running while I attended to something else. (Don't ask me what, I can't remember now. Yes, I am my mother's daughter.) About 20 minutes later I was looking for Milo wondering what he had gotten into now, when I heard the water and thought, "How did he get the water on?" And then it hit me. I had left the water running. Oh crap. Water, water, everywhere. Thankfully, no permanent damage done, but end exhibit A.

Exhibit B:
Later that night we went to Neptune park for Family Home Evening. I was following Milo around when I stopped momentarily to find Indie and make sure he wasn't wandering off or getting into trouble. Once I had found him I looked down at Milo and he was wandering in front of the moving swings. So in order to save him from a concussion I grabbed his arm to pull him out of the way. POP! went his arm and Milo began to cry. He calmed down after a while, but anytime he moved his arm he would start crying again. I knew something had been dislocated. At the Instacare I was told that his elbow had been dislocated and that hereafter he would have nursemaid's elbow, where it would dislocate much more easily until he is about 5. Fabulous! And I gave it to him.

Exhibit C:
Park has been saving up his money and decided he wanted to get a new Lego set with it. Scott took him and as soon as he got home he got it out to put it together. There were two instruction books and two packages of Legos in this particular set. He was about to mix up the two packages when I stopped him and said, "I think the first book of instructions goes to one package, and the other book goes to the second package." Park looked at me like I had no clue about Legos. "No, mom," he said and then he proceeded to explain why I was wrong and that you had to open both packages to put the set together. Then he said, "See, I'm smarter than you." Of course he was right.

So there you have it. With that kind of evidence in a court of law I would officially be ruled as dumb! ;)
