back seat driver, baby

[flea]

The Dillo has started backseat driving, as a corollary to the ongoing "I don't want to go to school" theme. When we stop at red lights, he'll put his feet into the back of my seat and push, saying, "Go, go!" When the car gets close to his school (after I am dropped off), he'll start telling mr. flea to turn around, or turn, and go a different way. mr. flea has been teaching him to notice and name the red and green lights, which seems to be working as a distraction from, "I never get any donuts" and "I don't want to go at school."

We had a bunch of hilarious conversations at various points in bed together last night (and yes, for all intents and purposes Dillo and I are co-sleeping at this point, and I do not like this regression at all). The only one I really remember went:

me: Hello lovey boy. I love you.
Dillo: I love ... your nursie.

Yeah, pretty much.

Ha! Squeaky has taken to saying, "I want bitty all by myself." By which he means, "I want Dad to leave the room". But I keep pointing out to him, I'm a person, too! If he wants to be all by himself, there will be no bitty! I don't know if he hasn't quite caught on to the concept of my existence as separate from his, or if it's that he'd be happy for me to get out, too, as long as I leave my boobs behind.

You realize that my main understanding of Dillo's personality at this point is that he really, really likes donuts.

Also breasts (mine), running, and not going to school! He's practically a teenager!
