My life is hilariously funny everyday but some days are just more so than others. Yesterday I felt like I might be running an online and phone counseling hotline with many calls and people who needed help and counsel. I had planned to make a chicken and rice recipe and started my day realizing I was missing several ingredients. Thankfully I have a teen daughter who LOVES to drive and so I sent her on one of her first missions to the grocery store. Then it came time to actually put it in the crockpot and I realized that we normally cook it for 3 hrs on high..but I thought ok...I have to be out today for meetings so I'll do 6 hrs on low..BIG mistake.
So Rick arrived home for dinner and I informed him that I had accidentally created a new recipe called "Chicken glue" and we hoped it was edible. Corey spent the first 5 minutes of dinner arguing with Daddy that it really was chicken glue and NOT chicken and rice because he takes things so literally :) Then all of a sudden he says sincerely "Cam I'm sorry I broke your lego watch"
Now recently we've noticed Corey is processing things well and so when he makes a statement like that we no longer dismiss it as not true. So we began to ask questions and realized that none of us had seen Cam's beloved new lego watch in a few hours. You have to understand that Cam is our baby prince..and he LOVES his new lego watch and has miraculously taught himself how to tell time accurately in less than 2 weeks because of this watch! So one by one people start disappearing from chicken glue night...and we begin an all out search in the bedroom for this watch. We find the watch under the dresser but one essential itty bitty part was missing. Seriously if you knew Cam's emotions you would pray too earnestly that God might help you find the part. Meanwhile in the spirit of keeping things calm, one of us would sit by Corey and just ask nice questions about what he thought happened to the itty bitty yellow and black part. Then he says "oh I put it in my secret hiding spot" Patiently we asked what that spot might look like..all the while taking him seriously because he doesn't usually say such things. Well then Chels realized that the cooling vent near his bed was shut...and that was odd...so they took apart the vent and voila...itty bitty piece found. We were all laughing hysterically without letting Corey see it lest he think the secret hiding spot is great :) Who needs cable when all of you can go on a treasure hunt and realize that Corey is getting funnier and crazier in what he does during naptime :) I love that kid.
