Three of Us
Haven't seen "Toy Story 3" yet but I can't wait!
Mommy was right.
Kyle was having a blast with poppy and Bailey.
He was looking forward to going to Toy Story 3 with mom and dad though.
And getting away from his baby sister, who was having a cranky morning.
Children do say the darnest things and when he asked why Faith were so cranky and nanny said that she probably had gas Kyle said "then why don't she just fart and get rid of it?"
Lacy laughed so hard tears came to her eyes.
Aimee and Horatio came to hear Faith crying. They asked what was wrong with her when Kyle met them in the porch.
The boy shrugged.
"Something about gas I don't understand. Are we going to the movies now?"
"In a few minutes, honey," Aimee said, kissing Kyle's head. "I'm gonna check on your sister then we'll go. I promise," she added, seeing the expression on her son's face.
A gassy baby was nothing her mother couldn't handle. Aimee didn't mind leaving the baby with her mom. Nanny even encouraged it.
"He needs some time with you two," she said of Kyle. "He's been really good."
With Bailey, Lacy and Trey's golden lab going to the groomer's for a bath, Kyle's buddy for the past day wasn't going to able to keep him occupied or chat to so Kyle grandparents were happy he was getting to go out, especially for some one-on-one time with dad and mom.
The movie wasn't till three in the afternoon so the family went for pizza first. Kyle would still going to want candy and popcorn at the movie even with lunch, but a movie without popcorn was just wrong at any age.
"Where do you want to sit?" Horatio asked Kyle when they got to the row of seats.
"There, please," he said, pointing to a seat. Kyle climbed onto Horatio's lap after his father was seated.
"Wanna sit with dad, do ya, partner?" Horatio said to his son, tussling his hair.
Kyle nodded.
Aimee smiled, watching her husband and son.
"Hold mommy's hand, daddy," Kyle said, taking Horatio's opposite hand from the lap he was sitting on.
"Okay," Horatio grinned.
The three stopped at the arcade and played mini golf and air hockey before heading home.
"Did you have fun, buddy?" Aimee asked Kyle, looking in the rearview mirror on the way home.
"Yeah," he said.
Then the boy looked thoughtful and asked about Faith and gas, repeating what he had said to his grandmother. It was a good two minutes before either parent could reply. The innocence of children can render one speechless with amusement sometimes.
