Proud Parent moment #1232

Today during sacrament meeting my neighbor asked Tanner to draw a picture of him. Tanner jumped at the chance and proceed to draw a sweet picture of his face. I thought at the time, “what a great thing……this will keep Tanner occupied for a while.” Tanner gave him the master piece that he had created and my neighbor kindly complimented Tanner on his artistic abilities. Below is a a drawing similar to what Tanner created.

 Tanner, being reinforced by the kind words of everyone telling him he was amazing at drawing, continued to doodle on some available paper. I wasn’t paying much attention to him until I saw him hand my neighbor another drawing over the back of the church bench. After he had handed it off…. I got a glimpse of this…...

Tanner beaming and grinning from ear to ear over his talent whispered enthusiastically to me, “It's a picture of him peeing!”

***Heaven Help. I couldn’t look the Bishop in the eye the rest of the meeting knowing that my family was distributing explicit images while he held court from the stand.

3

They say that bad things come in groups of three. I am hoping that number is correct and not a miss calculation.

 

#1. Tanner vs. sea shell.

#2. Chad vs. the Mountain

#3. Snowboarder vs. Zach (really snowboarder plowing over him)

Here’s hoping that 3 is the real number.

Times are a changing

 

I went to the dentist office yesterday………and I started laughing because, you know your life has changed when you think, “sweet I get to put my feet up while they work in my mouth!” It felt so good to “put my feet up” that I didn’t even take notice of the little instruments that were prodding and probing my teeth and gums. At one point I believe I said, “Laying here reminds me of falling asleep by the side of a pool. You have all this background noise…….that just relaxes you.” Scary huh.

I found this picture and yesterday this is what my heaven looked like. That’s what happens when you work in a severe behavior unit. Your version of heaven gets a little twisted.
