Many of you may remember Chase's 'rat' story from May of last year ....we think it's worthy of republishing the email we sent out regarding the 'situation'..... good read and a laugh. : ) Seems like a lifetime ago already.
"Okay, I'm straightening up a bit this morning, and let Chase out into the backyard to play- when he comes into the house saying 'Mommy, Mommy, this'....now, the sun is shining directly into the window, so all I see is a shadow of his little body coming towards me, left arm held high with something in it.....when he gets within about 2 feet of me, I see he is carrying a rat, by it's tail!!!! (I have no idea if it is dead or alive at this point) I jump straight up about 5 feet into the air and begin screaming bloody murder- begging to him to drop what he has....so now, he begins to cry and (still holding onto his prize) is now running towards me even faster because I have scared him and he wants me to hold him...... I'm afraid to go any closer to him because I have no idea when he will launch this rat (is it alive or is it dead???) at me, so I try desperately to calm down and say, 'Chasey, just throw that down, throw it over there (as I point to another direction) '
He finally throws this rat clear across our living room (thank goodness it didn't end up on our couch) and I scoop him up hugging him like we had just survived some major catastrophe....and I threw him in the kitchen sink and washed him up as quickly and well as I could.
Sheesh - It was all of about 45 seconds of action, butneedless to say, this practically gave me a heart attack and almost sent me into early labor...... our son is all-boy that's for sure. "
