Character

First good question of the day:

"Mommy. Why isn't 'Darks' Vader in the Lego Movie?"

"Hmmm. I don't know but they are making a sequel. Maybe he'll be in the next movie."

"Ok."

Then for a good part of our morning we read books in his room and played with his fire/parametric wood toys.

It's terrible I know but I am so glad he doesn't have a sibling because I like playing with him. When he's with cousins or friends I miss him because he's occupied with them.

At 4 pm today I had to take a work conference call. I was on my cell and on speaker phone but muted of course ( any time I have to take a work call there will be yelling or tears of some kind). I sat at the bottom of the basement stairs and no surprise there was Declan staring at me from the top (Daddy too at one point - they both think they're funny). So as the call goes on Im being distracted. At one point I turned so I wasn't looking up the stairs and I was taking notes. As we moved to a different topic on the all I looked back up at Declan and BLAM he was actually right in my face. Sneaky kid has crept down the stairs and was sitting just above me staring at me. Gave me quite the startle.

And then he wanted my pen because he noticed it opened and close by pushing the button at the top and he loves everything with buttons or switches or the like. No. He's not getting it.
