Asher the fireman and his ladder

This morning Asher woke at 6:45, not too early today.  Yesterday it was 5:15.  That’s too early for me.  It was his way of saying happy Father’s Day!

Lately, he wakes up and announces that my iPhone needs to be charged because the batteries are low.  This morning was different.  My iPhone wasn’t on the night stand.  I tried to outsmart him and put it inside the nightstand, out of his sight and hopefully to avoid triggering the cute tug and pull of Asher trying to get me to give him the phone so that he can watch his disney friends on YouTube.  He’s pretty clever in disguising his intention.

He wears the typical toddler pajamas.  Those one piece deals with feet built in.

This morning he announces he needs the iPad.  Thank goodness it isn’t the iPhone.  I try to go back to sleep.  Then he announces the iPad is in his room, he needs me to come there and help him get the iPad because it is running out of batteries and he will plug it in.  Then it hits me.  I put the iPad on top of the bookcase yesterday.  He sees it now and wants it.

He continues to call for help and starts to construct the backstory for why he needs the iPad.  I get out of bed afraid he’ll be climbing the bookcase.  It’s anchored but he could fall off of it even if it is attached to the wall.

When I walk into his room he launches into his plan, standing there in his pajamas with his fireman rainboots on.

I’m going to get a ladder from the garage and climb the ladder to get the iPad down, then plug it in because it needs to be charged … it went on, I’ll have to work with Kathleen to remember the rest of the cute story.

Since he was dressed to go in public, he did have shoes on, we walked around the corner for coffee for me and a cup of whipped cream for him.
