TAKE YOUR GLASSES OFF
I hear this demand several times a day. It means I love you, I want your attention, right now. Little A is his name or what his momma calls him. His brother is Big A. They are a pair – truly loving brothers but not above sucker punching each other.
We have a dog at our house – his name is Drake. He is a Great Dane – a very big Great Dane. Every night I come home and he acts like Little A. They have some of the same attitudes and actions. I spend a lot of my time laughing at the things Little A says and does. This week he is saying “don’t talk back to me”. He is learning to obey his Dad about how he is to behave. He has a huge vocabulary for a 2 and a half year old and he talks like an adult. And he does talk back. The boys got bunk beds a few weeks ago and they were told to not get on the top bunk. Little A got caught between the wall and the bed frame and was stuck. Another time he started down the ladder and was hanging there when I caught him. Our days are filled with hysterical times of love and education. I thought I had seen everything kids could do, our family consists of many boys with all her heart and few girls. Of course they are all gifted and their Grandma loves them.

That Little A is such a handful! Tonight he said something so odd. I can’t even put together the two phrases anymore. It was “Forget about it” and “drop it” or something and he was saying, “Drop about it.” Too smart or is he??
