Macho Macho Man

In the midst of the storm we call Cordon's temper there is also a very bright spot.  Cordon can be (unitentionally) hilarious.  The other day we went to Willard to listen to Lance's Dad speak in church.  I was careful to bring their church clothes with me for the occasion.  Anyway, I swear

all the buttons were on Cordon's shirt when I got him to church I do however, admit to losing his socks and thankfully it doesn't show in the pic but he is wearing his church shoes with no socks. So long story short, Cordon got to play the poor kid card who was missing 2 socks and 2 buttons.

My new favorite thing that Cord says in the morning is he wants cake and brownies for breakfast. Yeah, me too!  However, what he means is pancakes and berries.  We have started making whole wheat pancakes almost every morning and to top them off we put on the strawberries that my mom brought us from oregon that we have kept frozen. This is soooo

tasty and my kids love it. 

Cordon's new obsession is Kung Fu Panda. He can recite the movie verbatim and is working on the actions though I believe he is still at Level 0.  In addition, he has his "swords" (two narrow plactic poles used to set up his tent) which go with him every where. Some kids have their blanky, Cordon has his swords. If you chance to meet him be prepared to Kung Fu Fight.

Also, he has always been a big eater. With the exception of fruit he will eat about anything.

I had some starbursts to use as bribes to get them in the car when I need to go somewhere. I gave him two starbursts and, of course he ate them. When I got him out of the car I noticed there were no wrappers. I assumed they were in his pocket since I always tell them that garbage either goes in the garbage or your pocket.  Anyway, When I gave him another one

today and I actually witnessed him eat it wrapper and all. I figured out that is where the other wrappers went to. He didn't even seem to notice.

Cordon truly is a great kid and like most macho men he is just a teddy bear at heart.
