Feb. 20th, 2009 09:42 pmToday, we passed an important milestone with Wesley.
It was one of those moments that some parents miss, or fail to note, but we thought it was fairly historic.
It was his first, "DUH, YOU GUYS" moment, where Peter and I stood there stupidly until Wesley prompted us with the right answer.
He had requested "I Feel Fantastic," by Jonathan Coulton, as his first bedtime song for the night (our routine goes story, story, song, story, song), and we had agreed: one verse and one chorus.
Halfway through the verse, I faltered. I looked frantically at Peter. What comes next? Peter looked back at me, helpless. I tried to bounce artistically, making it seem like an intentional dance break in the song. Wesley wasn't buying it. After a minute, he poked me and said, "Call my phone anni check my messes!" (I call my phone and I check my messages.) And he was right. We sheepishly finished.
It is a little sad that my 3-year-old knows his Jonathan Coulton better than I do. It is possible we play it for him a little too often.
