superbad

Here is what happened when Gabriel first made James Brown's acquaintance this morning.


How is it that I waited nearly three and a half years to have this particular dance/couch jumping party? Somehow the combination of a too-quiet rainy morning, fragrant granola toasting in the oven, and a selfish desire to rouse my boy's jet-lagging grandmother (who came to us last night straight from her annual idyll in Ashland, Oregon) inspired me.

And now? Now Gabriel has a word for his power fantasies that alternately involve karate, volcanoes, dinosaurs, monster trucks, knights, ninjas, superheroes, wild horses, and football.



He's superbad.

H, now you know all about this scene firsthand! But the jumps and air-punches were particularly fantastic yesterday. A, yes, I love it too- it communicates the quality of badness, as in Michael Jackson style bad.
