Priceless!
What is priceless? Priceless was Chester's new and perfectly articulated word in proper and hysterical context. Priceless was Chester's expression 20 minutes ago. Chester laid low yesterday conserving his energy for a full family day today, visiting with his sister, father, step-mother and mother all at once. That in itself was a momentous occasion, everyone together in one room, laughing and loving him at once. Soaking it all in, he has stayed in his chair most of the day: enjoying good food, a manicure, another puzzle etc. Since the middle of the night, it has been important for him to be in constant contact with one of us.
Giggling together at the table, Teri, his step mother reached under the table to check to make sure he was dry. Chester sat up with a jerk and a look of total surprise on his face. I told him that Teri was copping a feel and he burst into laughter. He laughed and laughed and laughed. We even got Chester Michael Mainard to blush! After the laugher started to fade away, he looked at us, shook his head and said "priceless". It took us twenty minutes to stop laughing long enough to start this blog.
While I was at the dining room typing this, he started to repeat the word "home". I got up around the table and laid my heart against his back, his sister took one hand and his step mother the other. He settled against us and repeated home. We called over his mom and his step sister for a picture of his harem scarem. He wanted his friends to see his women. We hope you enjoy it.
