Where is the camera when you need it?
I confess: I watch American Idol.
Gus was watching with us tonight. As the sole female singer crooned her last song, Gus swayed along. It was "I can't help falling in love with you."
Suddenly, with tenderness, Gus approached the TV and KISSED Katherine McPhee's face. He stepped back and then moved in for kiss number two! I know he wasn't just kissing the TV, he was kissing her face!
So young, so suave...
There were two other moments yesterday and today that I'm glad weren't captured on film, but of course I'm going to write about them.
Yesterday, as John and I were eating dinner at the table (Gus had already eaten), Gus came over to me with the cookies we had given him stacked in his hand.
"Look, Mama, I have dinner, teuw (too)!"
This morning, as we were going back to our garage, Gus lingered in the backyard (which is fenced, important to note), as John and I put all our stuff in the spacepod (aka. taxi cab, aka. van). As Gus stood in the middle of the yard, I watched him through the garage window as he yelled at the top of his voice, "MAMA, WHERE --- ARE --- YOU ??????
Great. Now I'm the Mom who let's her kid watch bad TV, eat cookies and then abandons him in the morning. Where's my Mom of the Year award?

Hey! they don't call her Catherine "McFever" for nothing! your son knows a hottie when he sees one. tee hee
PS Gus, who are you voting for? I fear that I am in favor of Chris or Elliott, but your girlfriend is going to give them a run for their money!
