From a Freckle to a Scream
Necessary preface #1: Declan was so tired after school this evening that he fell asleep listening to B-I-N-G-O in his room while I was making dinner.
Necessary preface #2: Declan has a rather large mole on his scalp that isn’t really an issue, except that it sits right in his part, so I always purposely part his hair on the other side. To avoid sun exposure – and well, it’s fugly.
============
In the bathroom, doing final prep before bed.
Declan: (sitting on his little stool) Daddy, I am really tired.
Bryan: I know, let’s get done and you can lay down.
Declan: I am really, really, really tired.
Bryan: I know, stand up so we can brush your teeth. But watch out for the…
Declan: (Bam!) OWWWWWWWWWWWWW! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Bryan: (in a sensitive, caring Daddy voice): Oh no, you hit your head on the sink, huh?
Declan: (wailing in exhaustion and pain): YESSSSSSSSSS!!! AND RIGHT ON MY MOLE!!!!

Oh yeah. We’ve had a few of those nights too. One night it was meltdown over toe fuzz.
toe fuzz? LOL!But I just thought it was hysterical that he felt hitting his mole made it hurt worse.
And WTH are we doing up so early on Saturday morning???
Sorry … snorting (as only a mother can) at Declan’s expense. ANd of course this happens at least five times a day at our place. Up this early because for the first time in a week, sick boy slept through the night and after 6 1/2 hours of uninterrupted sleep, I was wide awake and didn’t quite know what else to do but turn on the ‘puter and have some quiet ME time.
Declan is the funniest little person I know – I just love him to death!
AH
that’s so sweet and funny!love the name declan.
Thanks Sizzle. You probably know this – but it’s Elvis Costello’s real name. Not that we named him after Elvis Costello or anything, but maybe better than saying we named him after a saint.
(a saint’s a lot to live up to!)
I was up since I had fallen into a coma around 9:30 Friday night on the couch…moved to our bed at midnight…moved to the guest room bed at 3 AM (MM was coughing)…and awake at 7 AM. Not sure why the clock thing said 5:38, it was really 7:38 my time. Still early though.
Liz, because I am on Mountain time – 2 hours behind you. I just wasn’t thinking. Too early. *I* really was up at 6:30am for some weird reason.And thanks AH :))
