I walked in this morning to a good sight - Ethan dropping a big smile and a "Hey Bic-tor" on me...He looks a little weak and all but he was good...
This was followed by Summer telling me Ethan can't go to school.
At which point Ethan just melts down because apparently he really wanted to go to school. I tell him he will soon come to cherish these sick days because school will not always be fun. I am nothing if not honest.
A few minutes later, Summer has her first (note, first) meltdown of the morning because she didn't like the spoon she fought with Owen over...I can tell she's going to be a real peach today.
Owen decides that while he's been sweet all morning he's feeling left out...So he breaks down when we can't get the legs on his Spiderman figurine to touch. CEO gives him a classic explanation:
"Owen - he rides a motorcycle..."
I don't think Owen is familiar with bow legs yet. We try to demonstrate how our adult legs do not touch. He is undeterred. We do what any normal adult would do in this situation...we lie and say we'll fix it later.
Problem Solved.
Summer decides to open the waterworks again before we leave for school...the reasons vary so we'll just chalk it up to her Dada being around and her wanting to make me feel like a Grade A punk...After I put her in her seat and she is still crying, I close the door muffling her wails.
It's at this time that Owen looks at me, shakes his head, and mutters to no one in particular
"Kids..."
We both laugh.
