The Denver Funnies

So we've had a couple of really good laughs here in our house lately and I thought I'd share them with everyone else. Evan and I always say "What would we do if we didn't have Denver?" and "We laugh so much more now that we have Denver."....so here's why! The best "funnies" seem to happen when I'm at work & the boys are at home just the 2 of them: -Evan put Denver to bed and went to bed himself. Around 1a.m. or so he heard Denver cry, but he quit within 10 seconds or less. Later Evan turned the video monitor on to check on him and he couldn't see him so he went to check on him.......Denver was sleeping on his floor! -The lights were turned down so Denver could wind down as this is about the only way for him to understand it's night time and time to settle down. Denver's learned to either go hide or be very quiet and good so we forget about him and don't make him go to bed as early. Well, this night he was crouched down by one of our rocker recliners with his back to Evan. He was playing with something really well, says Evan. After a good 10 minutes go by Denver comes walking to Daddy with a cup (basically empty) of chocolate pudding and a spoon! Needless to say....Denver had been playing with his pudding and it was now all over him, his new blankie, and of course the floor! I won't tell you how he got the pudding and spoon...Evan can share that one. -Evan was doing some painting in the nursery (just so you know...he only did touch up painting in the closet...I did the rest!) and I wasn't home from work yet. Then he realized he hadn't seen or heard Denver for quite some time so he went looking for him and calling his name. Evan eventually found him sitting on the middle of the couch passed out, snoring away! -The one "funny" that I can think of right now that happened when I was at home was when we ordered pizza...it was called Mexican Delight and was pretty spicy. Denver loves spicy food just like us and kept coming back for more bites, but wasn't drinking anything (and we did offer!)....I had 2 glasses of water with mine. All of a sudden he went running and screaming, grabbing at his tongue! We finally talked him into drinking some milk, but once it got better he started eating pizza again and didn't keep on drinking. The next time he was even more dramatic about it and we couldn't convince him to drink anything so I had to get the ice cream out and even that took some convincing.
