I was putting Lucas to bed last night and I noticed that Shark-Bait, the stuffed shark he sleeps with, wasn't in his bed.
"Where's Shark-Bait?"
He gave me a sheepish look and walked over to the desk in his room, opened the bottom drawer and pulled out Shark-Bait, then a few seconds later whipped out a stuffed dolphin from the same place.
"Shark-Bait and Dolphin were on a date and they needed some privacy." He was completely serious.
"A date??!" I can only imagine how ridiculous I must have looked and sounded, I was just totally stunned, not only that he knew the word, but he actually thought something about it.
"What are they doing on a date?"
"Well, you know, eating chocolate-covered strawberries and talking.."
"Oohhh." How sweet, I'm thinking. The things he gets into his head.
"So when did you decide that Shark-Bait and Dolphin should go on a date?"
"About a week ago." What??! You've been thinking about this for a week?? What else is going on in your head I wonder?
This weekend he gave his Papa a Father's Day card and in it said, "My father looks handsomest when he is about to kiss my mother." It made me melt into mush. This parenting business really does have rewards, I just have to wait for them.
And in case you are wondering, Dolphin and Shark-Bait did enjoy their date.
