One step at a time

It's a happy thing when a sick child starts to get his spunk back.

It is a happy thing, but it's a bummer when you want to get some things done around the house...  (like continuing to work on Project Pre-Christmas Clearing of the Deck) and it would really help if a certain little boy were napping.

But how to turn the boy's spunk down a notch?

How about the Laundry Chute game?

You know, the one where I'm in the basement loading the washing machine, and he's two floors up -- yelling down to me through the laundry chute? And I just yell up the chute now and then to make him giggle? Til he comes down two flights of stairs to say he wants to do that again... before he heads back up two flights of stairs... (Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary...)

Geez! All those stairs could tire a kid out!

I love it when a plan comes together...

I'm so glad he's feeling better. And you? Are brilliant. That is all.

Sounds like K has his very own stairmaster!
