Our Return

The Dragon Boss still loves us. He was asleep when we retuned late Sunday night. Pape and Marmee updated us on the four days of activity, including trips to Lowe's for blackout shades in his bedroom, Babies R' Us over in Marin and Nordstrom for more clothes. I mean, the little guy was almost in danger of wandering the streets of Noe Valley naked for want of clothing he's growing so fast.

When he woke up at 5.55am this morning, Baleen and I were in there in a flash. Papa and Marmee kept quiet in the front room, leaving the three of us to reaquaint ourselves without any confusion.

He was in one of his frequent wakening poses (face down, rear up in the air like a speed bump), making happy noises and rubbing his face in the sheets. We made happy noises, too, and when he turned to us, his smile disappeared. For three seconds he stared at us. That was a long three seconds. But then he broke out into a smile and all was well again in the Mission suburbs.
