Eavesdropping, Again

The boys and I had lunch with Aunt Lisa yesterday. We had an amazing time (eating in the gale force winds, running bases, and chatting.)


While there, Evy quickly took a little girl at the park under his wing as soon as she arrived.

"Hi, my name is Evy.  Wanna play?"

After which, he subsequently showed her the *best* places to climb and initiated a duo play session.

At one point in playing he said,"Let me show you my moves."  And, he then displayed artistic, nay, genius moves with a leg thrust in the air to the side, a shimmy of the body, a kick over of the hip, and all with equally interesting poses with his arms, hands, and face.  (I dare you to look as serious and as determined as he did while doing those same poses.)

A bit later he said,"I don't think you have met my brother Merritt, yet."  And, he remedied that situation by introducing them.

And, showing her the *bests* of the playground is not a limit to his consultancy repertoire.  "You know, it is really good to go potty before you go to bed.  That way you don't have an accident."

His Video EEG was post-poned a week, thank you stupid scheduling staff.  Now, instead of the right amount of time to get used to the idea, buys snacks, ask questions, and count down.  He has many more days to become anxious.  There are worse things, but this is hard for a four-year old.

Tonight, Aunt Connie told him a bedtime story.  Tomorrow, he is going to the movies with his dad.  That is big stuff!

Merritt discovered that he could make other people besides his family members laugh.

At the park yesterday, he did something, and the same little girl that played with Evy laughed.  He did it again and she laughed again.  You should have seen the delight on his face when he connected the fact that HE made Her laugh.  So pleased with himself.  It was great to witness!
