hmmm

Ok so like I don't really know what to right about but "everyone" wants me to update so fine I will.  I thought maybe for this post I would go with the retro green but that's as far as my brain could take me at this point.  My brother James it sitting here next to me so I thought I would tell you a humorous story that happened yesterday involving him. 

We had a good friend over yesterday along with her mother and son.  Jacob (the son) is uhhhh  idk like 1ish? maybe.   Anyway he looked like he was getting bored on the couch playing with tractors and hiding from us with his mom so I decided I would take him outside for some real fun.  Real fun I suppose would consist of riding bikes, playing in the sand and generally making a fool of ones self.  This is something that I specialize in.  So we headed for the great world outside of the couch and tractors, where you never really knew what would happen next.  I had heard his mom comment on how they had a cozy coupe back home and so I thought perhaps we could get ours out and make the little guy feel at home.  This I did and having cleaned it off quite a bit Jacob proceeded to climb in and enjoy the ride.  This he did for quite a while but as I got out another bike he lost interest in the cozy coupe.  I'm not really sure if it was the coolness of the bike that attracted him or the uncozyness of the coupe, either way I guess it doesn't matter really.  So he got out of the coupe and started for the bike and began to ride with great umm pleasure.  

No I haven't forgotten James.  You see James is nine years old and is of a fairly good size.  He has this great capacity to get himself into incredibly interesting situations with no way out possible.  At first.  The cozy coupe is empty and it looked like Jacob had fun so why can't James?  He got in and I didn't really pay him any mind.  That is until I heard him make a frustrated grunt.  I turned to see James trying to get out of the cozy coupe.  Oh it was funny, here's James, a nine year old with downsyndrome, dressed in a teeshirt, corduroy pants and muck boots stuck with no hope of getting out.  I laughed then finally after a great many tries I got him out.  Bless his heart.  James has brought so much joy into our families lives that I don't' really know what we would do without him.  Oh sure he has his moments just like anyone else but he's helped us realize that people with disabilities aren't as "dumb" as they look.  Anyway I fun little story from the Bourne household.
