My son is about two and a half years old and LOVES to push his limits. If we tell him not to hit something with his plastic baseball bat he will get it as close to said item as he can and then look at us and laugh. Putting him in "time out" always seems pointless most of the time until we heard this:
Korver was swinging his plastic baseball bat around and hitting everything he could when he accidentally smacked himself in the head with it. He brought the larger part of his bat to eye level and said this: Bat... YOU DON'T HIT!!!! You go time out, 2 minutes.
And he set his bat on the couch and left it there.
We were laughing pretty hard, I couldn't believe it.... but then a few minutes had passed and he went and picked his bat back up and said to it: Bat!!!!! You went time out..... You don't hit.
Just when you think that everything you say goes completely unheard, you realize that there is nothing as great as being a parent.

Why I LOVE being a parent - Episode 1
I decided to start a new blog series the other day and I just didn't get around to posting anything. I had several good stories in mind for this and as soon as I sat down I couldn't think of anything to type.
Just now I decided to post what my boy just did because I thought it was pretty funny.
Earlier today Korver was attempting to work me into a "HULK" sized rage. He was starting with all the known tactics to avoid taking a nap. I was pretty patient for about two hours and then started to get a little bit upset. All of the sudden Korver threw the largest tantrum I have ever seen.... EVER. He was flailing, screaming, and throwing his head into me in a pretty violent rage. I just held him and helped him calm down. Needless to say he never took a nap (after 3 hours of trying).
About an hour and a half later he asked me for a pop-tart which I decided to give him half of. It was a chocolate pop tart and he had chocolate all over his face. About 10 minutes ago he came up and asked if he could sit on my lap and I grabbed him and helped him up. I licked my thumb and started trying to get the chocolate off his face when Korver said: Daddy, I wash your face. He then stuck his fingers in his mouth and put nice fresh slobber all over my face.
All the anger in the world can't stop you from smiling at that. I laughed pretty hard.
Little things like that is why I love being a parent.

More Socialness
So, I finally figured out how to change the "url" name of my business on facebook. (its about time).

It has been pretty fun making shirts (and other things) so far and realistically we are just starting. Everyone is coming up with some pretty cool ideas for shirts.
we have been doing graphic design work for a few years now and adding the ability to do T-Shirt printing seemed like a no brainer. It is pretty fun to see what kinds of things people come up with. We have had a few hiccups with shirt sizing but other than that everything is working out better than we had imagined. Some shirts are XL and are the same as a different brands L. Others are 3XL and are the same as others L. It makes for interesting times.
I know that I thank everyone constantly but I have to again, We have had lots of help with some little things that to most people would seem insignificant. But when building a business, every single stone adds to the structure. (and I mean that in more ways than 1).
Thanks Everybody
