A bit of catsup

[mizarchivist]

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.

It was great to see you and I'm glad Thing 1 didn't flub too badly (the head bump had me worried). I'm also sorry he wasn't into strange adults as I'm happy to take a turn with him whenever I'm around. Kids with opinions, who'd'a thunk it.

Thing 1 was fine. Even the most attentive adult will find themselves at a loss in the face of dealing with an awake Crime Fighter. So that? As long as there's no lasting damage and no need for the emergency room... OK, and no grossnegligence, we can assume I'm going to be pretty laid back. FWIW.

It was great to see both you and CF there, even though it was for a relatively short time.

Best of luck with the next few weeks!

Thanks! Good to see you, too.

I can't help but wonder what CF's reaction would be to a bunch of us Fox people all dressed alike. :D
