Be Careful


A few pictures of life around here. I set some bread out to cool and when I came back I found that both loaves had been nibbled on. I caught the culprit red handed. His response to being caught was to offer me a handful.


Today Reuben and I had the following exchange while coming down the stairs:

ME: Reuben James Cummings, be careful! The stairs are steep. Don't fall down.

Reuben watching me start down the stairs: Be Careful, Mama James Cummings.

Our stairs are steep and Reuben does fall down a fair bit. Yesterday I took him to the library and almost as soon as I looked away to play with Miriam, I heard a help! help! I thought, that can't be Reuben. What could he possibly have done to need help. Then I looked over and saw that he and a small car were entangled. His pant leg was snagged so he couldn't escape. As he tried to get away, the car kept dragging itself after him.


Here's Reuben fighting for his freedom.
Miriam and I thought it was pretty funny.

Mama James Cummings....smile.

I love that you took a picture of Reuben's predicament before the untangling.

Poor little guy. His mother's taking pictures while he's struggling away. But it did make me laugh so who am I to be pointing fingers...

I didn't know your middle name was James. Kind of masculine.

Melinda said...

I laughed out loud at this!

Just Katy said...

Yes, I'm also laughing out loud. Fabulous that you took pictures before helping him, I am like that too. Ever see the Friends episode when Rachel and Ross were talking baby names and Rachel wanted to use James but only if it was a girl? There you go. That Reuben is a genius and up with pop culture.
