Drug Dealing Lullabys

In China Everest's song was, "hush little baby." We modified the song to include momma buying a three or four bottles of wine when the ring don't shine. Originally Kingston's song was "twinkle twinkle little star" because that's what he first sang to us. Well you can't modify twinkle twinkle enough. The other night, Ryan said that he has been changing up "mary had a little lamb" to include additional lyrics where mary and the kids at school eat the lamb. Last night I gave it a shot while putting Kingston to bed. I ran through the traditional lyrics and then that bitchy Mary had herself a lamb BBQ. Tonight I walked past Kingston's room to hear Ryan singing, "mary had some crack cocaine, crack cocaine, crack cocaine."

Ahh the simple things.

We are watching Storage Wars on A&E. Ryan said that he kind of wants to put Kingston in one. It's the holiday season so we won't.

Honestly Kingston has been great. Besides having a new kid in our home and the exponential stress that it brings, he is a good boy. He really is. We just hadn't been prepared for a 1 year old in a 1 year old body who is actually a 3 year old. Shame on us. However, if we were prepared for that we wouldn't have been prepared for something else. You can never prepare for all of the maybes and what-ifs that adoption brings. Or parenthood in general brings. I think little Kingston is going to surprise us all. He'll probably start doing his own lyrics soon.
