Sense of Humor

Parenting in general relies on having a sense of humor.  Otherwise, without laughter we would all go insane!  Now that our youngest two are getting bigger, I am once again reminded how ridiculous a 4 1/2 year olds sense of humor is!  Our boys, although super duper cute, can be super duper annoying!!  They both make sure I am watching every little thing they are doing, trying, and or attempting...whether or not I have seen what they are doing several times before.  I will inevitably hear, "mom, mom, mom, mommy, mommy, hey, hey mom", on and on until I answer.  "Watch this!".  98% of the time they are doing something so stupid I feel like I may have been better off sticking a fork in my eye!  No offense to my boys! :)  I always give them some line of appraisal, which was all they were wanting in the first place.  There are those occasions when they pull off something I never would have imagined a four year old could do.  Most of those times I get 911 ready on speed dial!  I have seen them both do flips on the trampoline, jump from heights that should not be jumped from and climb on top of the shed!  Now, those were the times when they asked me to look after they had already climbed too high or were in mid-flip!  If these are the things that come with boys by age four, I can not fathom what is waiting for us at age fourteen!
