A bit of catsup

I got to go to EOS for a few hours! It was great! Having the elder of the Wex kids on hand for my first hour there made a huge difference. I had hoped to have a team of teens to keep the kid busy, but sadly I didn't connect with my other two most likely candidates. But with lovely adults like drwex, lifecollage and spinrabbit around, I got in a few extra conversations before we called it a day.

This kid is clearly leveling up. His sleep pattern is totally whack-a-doodle: no nap on Sunday, up for an hour and a half last night and only went back to bed after he transferred to my bed. But he is SO cute. He runs up and gives hugs, will offer kisses to injured limbs and of course insist on his own kisses for his injuries. He'll parrot juuust about anything these days (so beware!) and will point out people he knows in pictures. He even associates certain things with certain people. Unca fubar wears a fox t-shirt from time to time, given who his employer is, and so if Crime Fighter sees a fox, he'll yell "UNCA!!" It appears that almost any representation of a woman in drawing that is not otherwise identifiable is Mama. He will declare people funny. Frequently as a method of deflecting frustration of said person, so "Funny Bubba" referring to QE. Or I'll say something and get a laugh and I'm then "Funny Mama."  He will also request you to sit. Over the weekend he successfully said "awesome," which is just that.

QE starts working nights, starting tonight for the next probably 3 weeks. That should be... interesting. I'm glad it's temporary.
