Leo has a scab on his elbow from who knows what. I told him not to pick at it because blood might start coming out.
Leo added, “And candy will come out!”
He’s our little human pinata, and you better stock up on candy because Kevin snapped this picture of him at martial arts the other night:
Actually, I noticed Kevin hangs out with Leo a lot by this sign while waiting out Vincenzo and Rocco’s capoeira lessons.
If you do adopt Leo you should know that it took him a couple days to adjust to daylight savings time, and when he finally did adjust he adjusted backwards. He now wakes up between 4 and 5AM.
You will put him back to bed again and again but each time you do, he will return to your bed and climb over your partner, saying, “Excuse us,” and tell you it’s snuggle time. He will do this over again until you cannot resist him any longer. As soon as you give into snuggle time he will jump up and say, “Let’s play!”
Some cute, funny, and/or alarming things will happen during the morning. You won’t remember any of them because you have already been awake for five hours before it’s even breakfast time.
After breakfast Leo will take a luxurious four hour nap while you continue to stay awake because you have other children and laundry to tend to. You will neatly fold and stack the other children, feed the laundry a nutritious lunch and attempt to nap while also playing a game of Sorry with your other children and/or laundry.
When Leo wakes up, he will do this for a half an hour and keep telling you, “The house is spinning!”
(Don’t try to tell him his undies are on backwards. He doesn’t take well to constructive criticism.)
After the half hour of spinning he will be under the impression that he is Grammy’s dog, Rasta—“Rasta Pasta” as she is affectionately called.
Dinnertime will come around. Make sure Leo sits at his special place.
Dessert time will come around and suddenly:
After dinner he will get ready for bed. Here’s how he spits out his toothpaste. Do not attempt to help him or even offer him help. Just trust me on this one.
Make sure to put him to bed like this.
Lift up Ice Bat to give him one last goodnight kiss, then immediately comply when he yells, “PUT THE ROOF BACK ON!”
Put the roof back on, assure him that he is, indeed, a big dog and that you love him with all your heart and with every drop of your being.
You know what? I think I’m taking him off the market after all. This is mine Leo.
