Cathy, David's daycare provider, mentioned that the other day, David tested her. About 30 minutes into naptime, she heard the beeping of a toy phone. She went into his room, and she said she's never seen him scramble that fast. He had gotten out the toy phone from the toy chest, and when she said his name, he dropped it and scrambled to get back into bed. She told him not to play with the toys, and fell almost immediately asleep. She said it took all she had not to bust out laughing.
Cathy also told us that one morning, the other children wanted to play with the cars but couldn't find them. David stood in the corner with his hands behind his back and stared down at the floor. She asked, "David, do you know where all the cars are?" He continued to stare down at the floor and shifted his eyes. Finally, David admitted his guilt when he went to the compartment/trunk of Cathy's four-wheeler toy and lifted the lid. Apparently, our collector spent the morning quietly "collecting" all of the daycare's cars.---It makes sense because he stores his Hot Wheels, keys, blocks, and alphabet cards in his tricycle trunk.
David loves to play "reality" and re-enact our day-to-day routine. His latest is pretending to be asleep. He'll crawl in my lap, and I say, "Shh, Daddy. David's sleeping." Then I carry him over to Kyle and whisper, "Shh. David's sleeping. Easy," as I gently place David in Kyle's arms. David just grins and watches it all, then he replies, "Hello. Morning!" David enjoys our little game, but I secretly enjoy it the most because he willingly allows me to hold, rock, and cuddle him. :)
