Austin's Ad-Libs

It's cold.  Really.  Cold.  Below 10 degrees cold.  So, outside activities are not an option.  Instead, we are playing chase. 

It starts in Austin's room when he says Na Na Na Boo Boo You Can't Catch Me and runs screeching and giggling like a madman toward the office with me chasing or Daddy chasing or Daddy carrying Austin and me chasing or Austin chasing me or some variation of chasing.  Even Nemo gets in the game repeatedly following the whole screeching, giggling, madman parade from one end of the house to the other.

This particular variation includes several rounds of Daddy carrying Austin with me chasing them both and Nemo tagging along to make sure we don't hurt Austin.

A:  Screeching.  Giggling.  Ahhhh....here she comes.  RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, Daddy.

D:  I think Daddy is done running for now.

A:  (Pause)  WALK FOR YOUR LIFE!

Austin's Ad-libs

It was a beautiful New Year's day.  We had all eaten too much and been a bit too lazy, so Shay decided everyone was going for a walk.

Reed was riding his brand new motorized dirt bike.  Knowing Austin wouldn't make it the whole way around the block, Sassy pushed him in a stroller.

Later, Austin said to me, "Reed had motorcycle power, but I had stroller power!"
