Kid Rockin'-the kids

Caroline was our first baby so that was quite a time.
One of the times was she was about six weeks old and he had kept her in the car while I went in the store. Sometimes he would have to take her for a car ride while I went in the store. All seemed well when I came out. Later when I gave her a bath, I saw little bruises on her ribs. I was scared I had been too rough when I would pick her up and I knew it would scare him so I was in panic to be sure he wouldn't see me dressing her. The bruises went away real quick. Some time down the road he was telling me and Johnny about the time he took her for a car ride in the parking lot and didn't belt the carrier seat in. He had also been know to undo the harness that held her in too because he thought it was uncomfortable for her. When he had turned she fell out into the floor.
(I think he was doing wheelies or something silly like that)





When Robert was three, Santa Claus got him an electric train set. (I think it really was for the big Robert) The big Robert wanted to be the one to hook this cute little building up to the track that would toot a horn when the train passed. Now the train was already falling apart because he liked crashing it. I don't know what he did wrong when he hooked up the building but he did it. When the train passed at full speed, the track shot sparks and nothing worked no more. He took two years of electronics at B.C. Rain High School. (graduated 1979) He had an Associate degree in electronics from R.E.T.S in Birmingham (Radio, Electronics and TVs or something like that. I never was able to find the diploma or certificate. He used to laugh about him and classmates nearly blowing stuff up.

We had two box turtles at one time. Both had gotten dog bit and their shells cracked. They were taped up with duct tape, ate leftovers and spent the summer in a big box out in the yard. Right before winter, he duct tape was taken off, the shells had mended and so they were let go.
The two kids named them Lost and Found

Kids:can't help but love'em



When we took the kids to the McDonalds playground, he liked to play in it too.

I thought this was a local radio song but I found it on YouTube-Chucky Cheese Hell
(had to admit the pizza wasn't too bad and I liked the jet ski game)


One time we got a Hot Wheels "crash track" that run on batteries and crashed the cars. It was already assembled in the package. It had two cars with it but when they got the track from Santa Claus, a car was missing. I was sure he thought I had lost the car. But later he said he was playing with the set one time when we were gone and a car got lost. I found it under a couch.
