Fun and Games … and Then Some

The morning started out fine. Actually, it started nice and slow. Woke at 8, made eggs and coffee. Ate them with Lucas while he had his two bowls of cereal. Did the dishes and pondered what to do today: It’s Mommy Lucas Day.

Then we played Hide & Seek for the first time ever! It was great. It went something like this:
“Mommy, you hide and I’ll count.”
I hide in the bedroom closet
“7, 8, 9. Ready or not, here I come!”
looking, looking, looking
“Mommy, where are you? Mommy, are you in the bedroom?”
“Yes”
“Oh! There you are!” giggle, giggle
My turn to count
“1, 2, … Ready or not, here I come!”
Giggle, giggle, giggle
“I’m here! I’m here!”
“Where is Lucas? Is he in the kitchen?”
Jumping out of hiding
“I’m here! I’m here!”

Later on though, he peed on his books and puzzles, refused to clean up Candy Land, which was scattered all over hell and gone, then hit me and bit me. Time out immediately ensued. ¡Ay, carumba!

After we made up and had our shower, Lucas peered into my ear with great concentration. I asked him what he saw in there.

“A Bird.”
“Really? A bird?”
“Yes”
I shook my head a little.
“It flew out.”
“What was it doing in my ear?”
“Looking for worms.”
