Adlani finally opened his eyes yesterday morning, and then his tooth fell out to make it an exciting start to the day. There was no kindergarten because the new kindergarteners were coming for orientation, so Adlani went to the office with me. I’m pretty sure that he opened his eyes because he knows we have Doritos at the office.
I had a meeting, so I set him up with his video game, movies, snacks, a drink, and various toys that he packed himself. Other than occasionally bursting into song, we barely heard a peep out of him and he never left his chair in the conference room. On the way to lunch I realized that I haven’t spent much time with just Adlani lately. The girls are always competing for attention, so he can barely get a word in.
On the way to lunch, he was full of insight…
“Did you know that ‘tinkle’ is pee in sign language?”
“I really like ‘scats.’ That means ‘cats’ in Haiti. I know, because Dad’s from Haiti.” (he’s not)
Passing the AAA building…”HEY! That must be where they make those batteries we use!!!”
He’s a piece of work.
I know I said that I was going to go to bed earlier from now on, but I’m in Indianapolis and I had 2 cups of coffee after dinner and I’m wired. I’m going to try to hypnotize myself to sleep now. Good Night!
