#1: Lucas asked for a "treat" (fruit snacks) and I told him he had to wait. He started to throw a tantrum and I gave in. Tantrum stopped instantly. He looked up at me triumphantly and explained his strategy: "I cry."
(Following that: "I happy!")
#2: The "Hot Dawg" song from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse runs through my head constantly due to Lucas's SERIOUS addiction to the show (thanks to a couple vacations [bless you, iPad + headphones], several rainy days, and the laziness of a mom who is scheduled to give birth in ~30 days who doesn't feel like fighting that battle). Time for an intervention/detox.
#3: Several instances in which I've had to literally SPRINT after Lucas in a semi-dangerous situation where he was being defiant and running away. Do you know what an 8-9 months pregnant lady looks like sprinting? Ridiculous. Not to mention the subsequent feeling of needing to keep my legs crossed to hold the baby in.
(This situation occurred at the rental car line at the airport. Daniel turned to the man next to him and said, "He's fast." The guy responded, "No, your wife is fast.")

this kid cracks me up.
I love the rental car guy's comment. I've seen you run! you can move!
He He He! I am picturing you sprinting with your belly. It's good comic relief :). Good for you hiking 10 miles! You rock! Lucas sounds like the coolest kid- just like his mama!
