and a good hacksaw.

Anecdote of the week: He’s been saying crazy stuff when first waking up in the morning (and in his sleep — last night I happened to be awake for this: “How ’bout that, Daddy”). Often, it’s as though he’s instantly fully awake, and he’ll say in a clarion voice, “I SEE A BIRD’S NEST” or something similar. This morning, he awakened us with, “WHEN I GO TO MIDDLE SCHOOL, MOM WON’T COME WITH ME THERE.”

He understands teasing very well. He’ll get a wild grin on his face, and say “I tease you Daddy!” or ” I want to tease Julie!”

I was wrestling with him and I said “Come here you little stinker–” so he said back “No you the little stinker!” “Me? No…!” I protest. “You a big stinker SO MUCH!” he says with glee.

I have a helper.
