The Irritator

I was just emailing my friend Megan, while the kids played in the playroom. Cason was just strolling around looking at the toys like he didn't know what he wanted to do. Paige was lining her stuffed animals up in a straight line. I'd asked Megan in my last email what her kids were up to, so I was filling her in on mine. I was telling her how great they get along, but that Cason's a total boy, looking for ways to irritate Paige just for fun. JUST as I was emailing that Paige started screaming for Jess, because Cason was running up and knocking/sometimes kicking her stuffed animals out of line and then strutting away all smug. Jess kept telling him to be nice, but he would NOT leave her alone. After a while I told Paige "He probably wants you to wrestle or something." So she went over and pushed him up against the wall with her head and told him "NEVER DO IT AGAIN!" while he laughed hysterically. She turned around and he ran up and grabbed her around the waist and pulled backward with all his might until they both fell down.
He's crazy. It had clearly been his plan all along, he was SO happy, belly laughing the whole time they wrestled. She was trying to look and act mad, but clearly loved it too.








Now he's finally let her set up her toys and they're putting on shows. As always they perform on top of the toy bins. Paige had Jess sit next to the toys to watch, and she announced Cason: "HEEEEEEEEERE'S CASON!" Then she ran to sit with Jess and watch.
Cason went right to work, dancing and singing "Ba ba ba ba".
Then Paige told him his show was over and it was her turn. She did a cooking show, mostly because she just rented "Strawberry Shortcake: Cooking Up Fun".
