The day started a little after 4am when Clare woke up calling "Mommy! Up? Mommeeeee! Up?" She didn't nod off again until nearly 6! By then it was time to get up and out the door ... only to find that a road adjacent to ours was closed, so there was a looooooong line of traffic on our street. When Thom John and the kids came out the front door for school, Sean exclaimed, "a parade of cars and trucks! What a lovely surprise!"
Clare had a rough morning at school - her teacher said she seemed tired. Hmmm ... I wonder why? Later in the day, she tripped and bumped her head, leaving Clare with a nasty scrape on her forehead.
And Sean was running on the playground and ran right into one of his buddies, leaving him with a full-on shiner under his right eye!
Despite the shiner, Sean was his normal chatty self tonight. On the way home, he told me that he can't wait until he grows up and then he will drive and "Mommy sits in the back seat of the car and you can take a nap, Mommy ... and eat cookies!" Yay! Later, he told me all about his teacher being absent this week "She went on bacation at the beach. It's a different beach than our beach because there are tigers and a merry-go-round."
Then he asked me about the Green Goblin (he had recently opened a packet of Spiderman stickers) - "Who's this guy? He flies on a board? He lives in New York? Does he come to New Jersey? Will he come to my house and get in my room and try to take my animals away?" I told him no - I won't allow it. Green Goblins are not allowed in the house - just like cats (I tell him cats are not allowed so he doesn't leave the door open for our neighbors' outdoor cat to come in). And then Sean said, "Hey! Mommy! Did you know? Cats have babies that are called kitties and they are so so so cute! Did you know that?"
