I'm up early to finish packing. As I went to sit in the recliner, I was startled by a gnarly black and red spider two inches across. All kinds of red flags exploded in my mind, until I realized it was rubber. It's a common occurrence these days. We've got lizards, spiders and snakes, most of them fairly life-like. I can't complain, though, because we're the ones who've bought them!
WB has taken an intense liking to his morning banana. I think it's his first toddler obsession. Yesterday morning, I set his banana on the table, and turned to finish gathering the vittles. No sooner had I turned, and he was sitting on the floor clutching that banana. He already had his teeth on it, peel and all, and was about to chow down! I seem to remember his big brother doing the same thing about this age, except he climbed up on the table! I guess I know what we can expect. Time to push the chairs under the table.
Later on, I saw how WB did it. He stood on tiptoes, and reached about 4 inches in from the edge of the table. My, how his arms are growing!Packing has coincided nicely with WB's fascination for taking objects in and out of containers. It's a funny game; I load up a suitcase, and he empties it. Now I have to keep the bags zipped in between placing items in them.
Speaking of suitcases, SK is seriously jazzed about his new Spiderman rolling suitcase. It's already made about 300 trips around our house.
Last night, KiSA took the boys to Chuck-E-Cheese while I went shopping for jeans. That's living up to his name, don't ya know--Knight in Shining Armor. SK knows which exit off the highway leads to said venue, even though we've only been there once. He talks about it every three days or so.
Well, to packing I must go. We'll be seeing many of y'all soon. For all the rest, Merry Christmas and God's blessings upon you and your families.
