Digging to China

REALITY CHECK

Like every red-blooded boy, Lucas loves to dig in the dirt. At pre-school, Ms M said to Lucas, "You are going to dig all the way to China!"

Lucas replied, "You don't dig to China, you have to fly on an airplane."

Issues, Counting to 13

4/24
I HAVE ISSUES
Lucas patted his chest and said "Look Daddy, I have issues!"
On his chest was a sticker with L.A.W. I explained initials to him.
"In-issues, initials, I like issues better, it is easier to say. I have issues!"


COUNTING TO 13
Lucas as reported by his pre-school teacher.

Ms. T said that Lucas was counting on his fingers and continued until he finished at 13.

"Why 13 Lucas?"

He showed his fingers as he counted to ten. Lifted one foot for 11. The next foot for 12. And then said, "I had to count my penis too, because it is hanging there."

Everything and Cool Metal

Everything.

I was reading to Olivia last night ... Tiny Too Little is a mouse in love with a giraffe. He stacks up a thimble, a match box, a cabbage, a tea cup, a watermelon, a candle and a cupcake to try to reach his love and give her a kiss. With each page, one of the items is added and all the preceding items are repeated ... I pause and point and let Olivia join in.
When I got to the last item on the stack, I pointed at the cupcake to have Olivia begin the list again. This time she hesitated, so I prompted her by saying "What did Tiny Too Little stand on?" She sighed and said, "Everything!"

Cool Metal Comfort
Lucas - 4/8

Lucas sleeps with a small fire engine. About 5 inches x 2" x 2". Mommy was reading to him, but he was distracted b/c he couldn't find the fire engine.
Lucas said, "But I need something cool and metal to sleep with!"
I found it in our room. He snuggled it up to his cheek like it was a soft teddy bear.
What a boy.
