Random kid stories

I am fortunate enough to have my Dad be willing to watch my kids if I need him. K has become difficult to bring along to Miss M's swimming lessons so I asked my Dad if he would babysit. I now am able to actually watch Miss M's lesson and cheer her on when she does something new (which, it seems like, is every lesson these days). My Dad comes out to our house to watch K. K thinks it's fabulous to have Boppa all to himself. (M generally comments on the way to her lesson I wonder what Boppa and K are doing now?) So she's a little jealous, but K doesn't get to go swimming like she does. (Her swimming teacher showed surprise at M's progress several times today. M can swim better than I can at this point and she's only been taking lessons twice a month for 1 year.)

When it is time for Boppa to leave, he is met with this:

K locks the door and thinks that his little body is enough to keep Boppa in the house. However, the last couple of times, Daddy has come home as Boppa is preparing to leave. Then, K runs to his daddy and gives him a big hug. Back to the door, to unlock it. Bye Boppa! K shouts. He has been dismissed.

Speaking of Boppa watching K, we were at my Mom and Dad's house a week or two ago and I left K with my dad while I took Miss M to preschool. While I was gone K apparently found some of my mom's nail polish and painted his nails. My dad had removed the evidence before I got back, but he tells me that K did a remarkably good job.

Miss M and K were playing in her room this morning. She'd created a game that involved puzzle pieces and 2 shoe boxes. "Pick a box Daddy-O!" She told K. I had to ask where she got that saying from. "From the Tad movie Mom." Oh. The Leap Frog Letter Factory. It's one of the better places she's picked up an expression.
