THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT GRAMMER...


graham definitely got his relaxed genes from his dad.
a few weeks ago, i shared with my sister-in-law mel that i am in awe of how chill graham is.
i don't even comprehend how one can be so content doing nothing at all.
she assured me that's the exact same personality evan had growing up.
which is how ev became affectionately known as a "lounge lizard"
(a nickname that has now been passed down to his firstborn son).
yes, i am aware if you look up definitions of this you will find-
a) a generally idle man who haunts gatherings frequented by the rich or fashionable
b) a social parasite looking for woman to support him
while neither of these describe my husband or son, we will continue to use the phrase for years to come.

there are a few things that make graham react mightily and at the top of the list is "the tigger song."
he goes from complete lounge lizard to hyperactive in less than three notes every single time.
then as it ends he immediately goes back to his usual chillness.
oh i love him so.
