The double life of the Emperor

[grammarwoman]

Our little guy enjoys confounding us on a regular basis. A large part of this is the completely different behaviors he shows at daycare and at home. At daycare, he eats everything on his plate. At home, mac'n'cheese has become the only reliable dinner time meal. At daycare, he lays still and lets them change his pants. At home, he usually kicks up a huge fuss and makes it an aerobic workout.

The one advantage we had was at naptime. He's been taking two-hour naps at daycare, with a recent gradual decline to an hour and a half. At home though, he's consistently taken 2.5 to 3 hour naps. Bliss! However, this seems to be changing -- this past weekend, he took 1.5 hour naps both days.

I want my three hours of freedom back! *sigh*

Could you please thank the Emperor for us? He was kind enough to leave his toy car (white and green w/black wheels) with us to play with. I have enjoyed it immensely, and have spent hours zoooming it up and down the hallway. I will return it to him next time we see you.

I am drawing a blank as to which toy this is. Huh.

I think it's one of the cars from the parking garage set he has. It's the one with the parking ramp and elevator which "dings" at each level of the garage. The car itself is rectangular, plastic and white with green trim and black wheels. It's approximately 3" long and 1.5' wide.

If it were a real car, it would be described as an extremely boxy, open-wheeled convertible. ;)

Ah yes! Please do bring it.
