But Makili has been demonstrating naughty lately. Like when he stuck a pretzel nugget in Remick's mouth. Or when he dumped all the ashes from the fire (they're in a box underneath) onto the floor so that he could "dig" with his immense tractor collection. He's been a real pistol lately. He's also taken to calling Raph and I by our first names if we don't answer fast enough. He'll be in his room for nap emphatically yelling, "mom, mom, mom." Then a pause. "Blayne. Blayne. Blayne." It actually makes me laugh. I'll have to remember to write down some more of the naughties, because they are pretty funny retrospectively. (except the crap on the floor. that wasn't so funny.)
