Tonight HDiddy was woken by his sister and he called me into his room asking for water.

Then he looked up at me and said, “Daddy, look at my feet.”

“OK,” I said. I looked down and his feet were covered by his blankets. “What about them?”

“I have bear feet,” he said.

“OK,” I replied. “You always have bare feet.”

“No I don’t.”

“Well, you always have bare feet when you go to sleep.”

“No, I don’t.”

I looked down again and reached under his blankets to grab his feet. At the same time, without thinking, I picked up the teddy bear that was laying above the blanket above his feet and handed it to him.

“See. I have bear feet,” he said.

  

Love this!

 
He loves building with LEGOs on the computer. Perhaps a future CAD designer – or maybe an architect (like his daddy wanted to be at one point).
Or maybe he’ll still want to be a garbage collector 20 years from now.

Who knows? But it’ll be a fun journey. 

 The storm woke him up more than two hours ago so he joined me in the office while I worked.

But I’m not sure how much work I’ve gotten done.

We’ve talked about Scooby Doo, thunder and lightning, why the sun looks like it goes into the ground, why it’s nighttime at our house when our friend Kathryn is eating breakfast in Zambia, what happens to rocketships when they leave earth, my sister Amy, having a door in the front yard and who left paint on the fan in my office.
Pretty sure I’m leaving something off.

So many questions and so much imagination. Love it!

Setup this web of “lazers” for the boys to try and navigate this morning.

As they tried to figure out their path their little sister just got on her belly and slid underneath it all.
