Today while cooking dinner, the boys were playing. First they used their tools to fix my imaginary bike, then they were hunting the mean bear, and then they were tending to a sick person on the stairs. They were both very nicely sharing the doctor's kit. At one point, Kevin asked me to put on his "watch," because "doctors need to know what time it is." The watch was really the blood pressure cuff, but I didn't have the heart to correct him.
Also today, Pappy was spinning Kevin in a chair. He yelled at Pappy to stop because he was "making him busy." Close enough.
Lastly, a while ago, Kevin and I were both pretending to be T Rexes. He told me that we were going to hatch some eggs. So he gathered up a group of Little People and we took turns sitting on them. After a minute of this, he said "They are starting to hatch!" To which he then gave me a big hug, looked me in the eyes, and sweetly said "We're parents!" We played this game again tonight, and in the middle I ran up here to type the blog. I was afraid I would forget. My husband informed me that I was needed back downstairs quickly. Apparently in my absence, Kevin took the responsibility of parenting very seriously. He was still sitting on our "babies" and was getting mad at Colin who was trying to get to them!
Bonus story - Kevin knows his opposites! And they start swim lessons on Wednesday.
I couldn't make this up if I tried.
