Lucius and his darn brain.

Lucius hasn't been napping at daycare.

Tom: Lucius didn't take a nap today.
Me: Uh oh. Lu why didn't you take a nap?
Lucius: Well, my brain told me to keep playing so I couldn't take a nap.

Next day.

Me: Lucius' brain.
Lu: Yes (said in a robot voice).
Me: Please let Lucius take a nap today instead of playing.
Lu's brain: OK Mommy. He can take a nap ( in robot voice).

Oy vey. That kid and his excuses. He's also turning into the quintessential older brother.

(in car)
Lu: Mom, Ah-yes (that's how he says Alice) is looking at me.
Me: Well, you're her big brother and she loves you. She likes to look at you.
Lu: But she's making a face. I don't want her to look at me. (pulls the carseat visor down so Alice can't look at him...and is instead left staring at the underside of her visor).

And so it begins...
