Obsession

Alright. Today it's all about Jaden. Jaden L-O-V-E-S anything to do with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. He is obsessed. He got a little stuffed Donald for his birthday... he had a Toodles cake... he got a mickey mouse look and find book... he carries Donald everywhere... he sleeps with him every night... he FREAKS out if someone else picks Donald up... you get the picture! Mickey and Donald rock his world! OK, so last night we took the kids out for a celebratory Chinese dinner (everyones' favorite) 'cause we survived the first week of school! Yeah! Anyway, the Chinese place we like is in Midlothian, about a 25 minute drive away. We are headed up there and as expected, Jaden fell asleep in the car. We did not want him to fall asleep in the car! He is horrendous when he wakes up! I wanted him to eat before he fell asleep. Since I was driving, Bryan kinda turned in his seat and tried to wake him. He called his name, moved his head side to side, rubbed his chest... nothing, not even an eyelid flicker. So Bryan breaks out the Donald Duck voice (he actually can do a really good imitation of Donald!!). Jaden's eyes fly wide open, he sits straight up and yells at the top of his lungs, "DONALD DUCK!!!" and then his head falls to the side again and his eyes close right back up and by the next breath he was snoring again. Bryan and I were laughing so hard that I am sure we were a driving hazard!
