There comes a time in every father’s life when he must sit back and just enjoy the memories given to him by his children. I am not at that point (haha) but I have recently come to the realization that my second youngest is the type of child that annoys the shit out of you if he belongs to you and completely entertains you if he is child of anybody else.
Corey is a sweet, lovable and extremely cute kid but also unbelievably annoying! He is the kid that won’t let something go. If he asks for something and I say no, he will ask and ask and ask and ask and ask again until I raise my voice at which point he inserts his 2 fingers into his mouth and storms out of the room. He will ask me 100 times to draw him a map, picture of a dinosaur, a dragon, a Clone Soldier, a Power Ranger, an elephant, a tiger or whatever else comes to his mind. When I tell him to try drawing it himself, he cries and asks over and over and over and over and over again until I raise my voice at which point he inserts 2 fingers into his mouth and storms out of the room. Then he will come back into the room and ask me again. When I say no again, he inserts 2 fingers into his mouth and storms out of the room or he goes to the wife and asks her to draw him the picture but she usually cannot understand what he is saying as he is crying and has 2 fingers in his mouth.
So you get the point of how things go but how can I not love a kid who is a goofy as they come? He does just about anything he can to get you to laugh. Whether it is make a silly face, wear pants on his head or perform some kind of spastic dance in front of everyone in the room. He makes the funniest faces for no reason at the strangest times and loves to be without clothing, except for his preferred ensemble which is just underwear.
Now to get ready to have your Corey experience! Some memorable moments:
Do you love him now? Of course you do……he isn’t yours!
PS…..
My wife just reminded me that he is the spitting image of me and I am constantly reminded by my family that he is my clone as I was the same way…….

Oh lordy – he is soooo cute and comical. I was really hoping to see a photo of him with his two fingers in his mouth. I am imagining an old Italian woman biting the fingers horizontally. No?

Unfortunately I do not have a pic but he sticks his index and middle fingers straight into his mouth upside down and sucks. It’s strange, he never sucked his thumb only the 2 fingers. Hahahaha…..freak!
