Dad – We’ve had lots going on this past while. Our little Marlon got to meet his birth dad, Big Marlon and play some soccer with him.
Marlon – Big Marlon played goal, and I scored on him every time.
Dad – Every Time?
Marlon – Well, sometimes he stopped it, and sometimes I scored.
Dad – Jayden has been going on a fort building spree, which almost always involves the cushions being torn off the furniture and everything rearranged in increasingly complex configurations. It also sometimes involve traps so that we can, you know, split up and catch the monsters.
Jayden – That’s Fred. He says, “Split up.” I’m Fred, because Fred loves Daphne, and I love Daphne too. And I say, “Split up and look for clues.”
Dad – Ethan has been doing what he always does (and as I always did as a kid, because, well, genetics) — making fortifications to replicate (vaguely) WWII battles. He has nothing to add to this, because I didn’t ask him about it, because he would just tell me not to post about it anyway.
Dad – We also went to about five different block and neighbourhood parties this spring.
Marlon – I did dancing. And Jayden got naked in the pool.
Dad – Both true statements. Here is Marlon dancing —
Dad – And here is Jayden in the pool (with clothes restored) —
Dad – I’ll leave you with this unnecessarily long video of Jayden asking to be filmed jumping of an electrical box and then taking he sweet time to do it.
