The Meltdown...

Okay seriously, it does not get too much funnier than this...

This morning Kyle and Scott were playing with his new red ball (you know, those rubber ones that are about a foot in diameter and cost a $1.50 at Wal-Mart.) Scott had to take a quick time-out to change Kyle's diaper. His bum was a little red, so Scott let him run around for a few minutes naked (Kyle's favorite thing) to air out. As I am sure you all know what is coming next, Kyle stopped for a minute and started to take a wiz. I of course gasped, Scott started laughing, and Kyle completely lost his composure and started balling (standing in place in all his glory). Not because we were mad (it was our fault for not putting a diaper right back on) - you see the problem was, he had pee'd right on his red ball and was devastated that it was dripping wet. It honestly took us at least ten minutes to calm him down. All the while we were cracking up about his total meltdown regarding the ball...

Lesson learned:
The $1.50 red ball is the most important thing in Kyle's life right now.
The red ball must not get wet (being pee'd on or otherwise) to avoid meltdown.
Stain protector carpet is worth the extra money!

Ha Ha!! :) How funny!! I love how attached kids get to random toys. Ben must have his "power ranger rings" on all the time - which are really 2 of his sister's plastic bracelets. :) Kids are hilarious!!

Isn't it amazing how little it takes to please a child...and upset them!
