Rock the House

Tonight we (Chet, Ladan and I) were watching the American Idol results show. Ladan's favorites throughout the show have been David Archuleta and David Cook. He gets really into the show and says things like, "I like David Archuleta," "David Cook is a good singer," "I liked that song a lot," and even "That was NOT a good song, Mom. Did you like that song?" Well, tonight during the show, he was preparing for the run-down of David Cook's performance last night, and he said, "David Cook is going to sing, 'I'm Alive', and then he's going to sing, 'I'm Gonna' Rock the House'. David Cook is going to rock the house." Whatever! He's such a funny kid!

And apparently, he has a good ear for good music and great vocals, because his season-long favorites are the two guys who will sing next week in the finals.

Gabe's been having a bit of a hard time for the last week and a half or so. We're not sure if he's getting another set of molars or if there's some other issue going on. He's pretty cranky most of the time though, which isn't super-fun for any of us, including Gabe himself. He's had to have more discipline and has had to spend more time in his bed (which seems to be a relief for him in some sense). I'm hoping that we'll get back into a bit of a normal routine soon, which may help him. He's starting to use a few more words to express himself, so it's entirely possible that he's just frustrated that he's not able to say as much as he wants to. We'll see how it all unfolds over the next few weeks.
