A little trouble at preschool: I’m told by Miss Jennifer that Lucas has been picking on Ella lately, especially Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Today was better, apparently. Ian had mentioned to Jennifer that Lucas has been pretty rough with me lately, too. The teacher’s theory is that, on some level, Lucas may know about the pregnancy. Who knows? I just know that WILD, and OUT OF BOUNDS, and RAMBUNCTIOUS are the best words to describe him these days.
I’ve bragged about Lucas’s artwork before. I’ve seen a tremendous level of detail coming through his drawings over the last several months. His favorite themes are rockets and robots, machines and vehicles, cannons, pirate ships, and the occasional princess (riding in a rocket). Today at school, he drew a damned good picture of a train, complete with engine, engineer, smokestack and smoke, wheels, a trestle bridge, and couplers linking two other cars to the engine. One of the other cars is a box car (with a box inside) and the other is a passenger car with two little passengers poking their heads out the windows. It’s freaking great! I think he’s brilliant … perhaps diabolically so.

I love that you refer to your son as an eville geeenius at the age of four. And you know, between the kissing your belly you mentioned and this behavior I’d have to agree that he already knows on some level. I wonder if you will get more direct kinds of processing from him once you tell him? Who knows.

Yup. Geeeenius. Eville? For all our sakes, let’s hope not! That boy has a direct connection to something pretty huge…do we need to start currying favor? Just in case, I mean. What’s his favorite cookie? Just asking…

Well, I think his favorite is sugar cookies with sprinkles on top. But please, unless you really want to see Eville and take it home with you: no more than 2 at a time. 😉
