Awwwwww

Maddie is sleeping on my lap.  She suddenly coughed a bunch, then fell back asleep.  Riley jumped up, came over, looked at Maddie, and asked if she was ok.  I told him she is.  He then said that scared him and he gave her a kiss on the head.

Awwwwwww.....

Wow, Riley!

I'm looking at the American Idol website - big fan, we're both hooked.  Riley is in my lap and he says, "Daddy, look, there's Taylor."  I say, "You're right, that's Taylor."  Then he says, "And there's Katharine McPhee."

I was shocked!  Not that he knew she was Katharine, but that he knew her last name!  Wow!

How Loud Can You Play Your Trumpet?

Saturday I was practicing my trumpet while watching Maddie & Riley.  I was trying to play quietly so I didn't hurt their ears.  At one point, Riley asked, "Can you play louder than that?"  I said I could, then he wanted me to do it, so I did.  He then again asked, "Can you play louder than that?"  Of course I could and did.  One more time he asked, "Can you play louder than THAT?"  So this time I turned away from him (and Maddie), took a deep breath and played as loud as I could.

When I turned around Maddie's eyes were huge, Riley had his hands over his ears, a big grin on his face, and he said, "Daddy, that was TOO loud!"
