Pop Cycles

Parker and I tend to go trough the same cycle most days. He wakes me up in the morning, "Daddy get up, get me out." To which I respond, "Go to sleep, daddy wants to sleep!" during the day, he emails me at work, "lkasdf(87@(*&@>po9usa/" and I email him back, "your silly Parker." When I get home from work, he runs to me, gives me a hug and says, "Let's RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" At bedtime we sing and dance and read. Then, after I put him in his bed, I hear him singing, dancing and pretending to read. Before I go to bed, I get him up to go to the potty, after which I ask him if he is tired. He says, "Parker tired, go to sleep" (Why can't he just say that in the morning?)

At Work With Papa

Parker heard that his grandfather, or Papa (Necaise), was a manager for an electric company. He then asked, "What does he do there?" I told him that Papa was a lot of people's boss, so he asked me, "What does he make them do?" I thought that was a good question, so I answered as best as I could, telling him that the people that worked for Papa helped make sure that a bunch of other people had power in their houses so that they could play computer games and watch movies. He was amazed, "So, Papa is like the most important person in the world, isn't he." (Was that a question?)

Up, Up and Away

Well, I guess that it was only a matter of time before his mutant abilities showed themselves (we did name him after a superhero after all). To the untrained eye it may look like he has just jumped on the bed and the photographer caught him in the act, but truth be told, he is really levitating. That's not the only ability he has either. I think he is also a telepath (he has a tremendous ability to control our behavior and our time management).

Mermaids and Speedos

Parker is in love with fish and the water. I am afraid that he going to grow up like Tom Hanks in that movie "Mermaid" (not the crappy sequel that he wasn't in) and be in love with a mermaid. Its either that or an Olympic swimmer (not sure which is worse - tails or speedon'ts).
