Dude! I got a tat!

Kudos for Camera-Gal and Pink for pulling this one off.

For the second time this week, I had to work 10+ hour day, but by virtue of scheduling, I was able to go pick up Little Blue from daycare and pick bring him to the library so we could hook up with Pink, and then they'd go home.

After spending some time in Admin where Little Blue was getting his shy mojo on with the Business office, we headed back to "Daddy's Office" because I'd left my cell phone in the car and wanted to tell Pink we were at the 'brary.

Someone was nice enough to bring in a HUGE barrel of animal crackers, so after I picked up LB's eyeballs off the floor and let him get one, we head back to my cube.

We start talking to Edh and our custodian, DJ. Turns out, Edh was working on our orientation this evening and needed a cover sheet, so LB and I fire up the computer and get to work. I send the print-out to the IS printer, and LB and I walk up the hallway to pick it up.

*LB snags another animal cracker*

LB marvels at the printer and really wants to yank the printouts before the printer is done with them, so we test his patience...get the copies, and I tell him Edh needs them and if he can take them to her. With four pieces of card stock in hand, he walks back towards my cube...

*LB snags another animal cracker on the way*

And hands them to Edh. Edh's is so happy to excited have LB help her out that LB blows her a kiss on our way to go wait for Pink in Youth Services.

We head over and I start talking to Camera-Gal about how I was joking going to leave LB over there till Pink shows up. She said she'd just be happy to take him home right now, so I joke about the car seat, and she said she could just take mine. We chuckle about it and LB starts playing with the foam blocks he loves to fiddle with every time we come in.

About five minutes later, Camera-Gal ask LB if he wants a stamp, and knowing he had no clue what one was, I offered up the back of my hand to let LB see what it was.

"Look Daddy! You got a paw!"

Camera-Gal is slowly bribing LB into coughing up his hand for the stamp when I notice Pink come in and gives me the finger.

NO! not that finger!

The shush finger! She wanted to surprise LB...

Camera-Gal notices Pink walk up and asks LB, "Do you think your Mom might want a stamp?"

"Umm, yeah!"

*Pink, from behind LB, sticks her hand over his shoulder and receives her stamp*

*LB looks at the hand, then up at Camera-Gal, then turns to see Pink and bursts into a joyous "Mommie! Mommie!"*

Camera-Gal eventually gave LB his tat, but I wasn't around to see it, I had to get back to work.

LB was in bed by the time I got home, but when I woke him up this morning, I saw his tat...and because of the way he slept, he had a blue paw shaped hickey on his neck because he snuggled up so warm some of the ink transferred from the back of his hand to his neck.
