Daddy Mac has been gone for several days. Grandpa Mac has been pretty ill with his lungs, so Daddy Mac decided to help out his sister and take a turn being a nurse for the week. The kids have really missed him but have done pretty well.
Yesterday was Little Man's first day back to school since Daddy has been gone and I expected that he would have a rough day. We have struggled this past year with some serious issues at school so I was preparing myself to have to deal with consequences at the end of the day. However, I was surprised that Little Man only came home "on yellow" for talking!
While we were waiting for Goosey Lou to get out of her piano lessons right after school, I was reading my book and LM was playing in the back of the vancar with his legos. I heard him making the regular crashing, shooting, destruction sounds as his spaceship was battling an alien. All was right in the world.
Then I heard Little Man begin to talk....
Yeah, my dad is in the military so we have to move around a lot...My mom and I have lived in Paris and in London. We are always 'flying those friendly skies'!
I put my book down and turned to ask him what.in.the.world was he talking about. I fully thought that with all the talk on the news, and the fact that his teacher's husband is going to be shipped out to Afghanistan, that he believed that he was a military brat. He said "Mom! It is part of Hannah's musical 'Life School Musical'" and began to repeat word for word the drama lines that precede a favorite song from the CD "I Love Bugs".
It caught me off guard that from just listening to his sister's CD that he could recite a play and sing the song perfectly. I just hope that he doesn't tell the tale at school while his dad's away for the week!
