Being as I am now up at odd hours of the night, I get to hear what Ricky does at night. Mostly it is just sleeping and snoring, but about once a night he calls out, not for Kevin or I, but for Max. Max is Ricky’s stuffed cat and is getting pretty tattered looking because he goes everywhere. When Ricky is sleepy or just needs comforting, running Max’s tail between his fingers is the best tool out there. Well, at some point in the dark of night, Ricky will call “Max, where are you?” a few times and then once he is found, Ricky says “There he is.” and goes right back to sleep. It is really sweet to hear, he sounds so sad when he is looking for Max and so happy once he is found.
Today Ricky was introduced to water paints. His favorite part was dipping the brush in the water cup (big surprise there).
