Mindless Mom

My 2yr old daughter walked around all night with her head up my 9yr old son’s butt.  Not literally, but close enough that if he let loose at any point, she may have been stunned for a good minute or two. 

Better explained, the two of them played spies for over an hour.  Most of the time was spent with both of them draped under a Star Wars cape with my son announcing that his “butt was getting big” while he dramatically pointed back to his 2yr old tag along giggling underneath.

At one point, he let her pick the places they would hide. 

In typical two year old stealth mode, she wanted to hide “unda the bed” where upon she had about 95% of her body not under the bed.  Spot #2 was behind the curtain with half of her body showing and the other half shaking the curtain from her uncontrollable giggling.  The third spot was back under the Darth Vader costume, where she pleasantly announced that she was hiding “in him’s butt” referring to her sibling special ops team member.  It was a proud parenting moment.

For the rest of the mission, they bounced (literally at times) from bedroom to bedroom with the cape and without.  Forty minutes into their charade, I asked them who they were spying on.  They both looked at me with blank stares and starting laughing……perhaps at me?  I think they both got so busy running, hiding, and laughing, that they forgot what game they were playing.

Not that it mattered, it’s not like they were successfully going under cover at any point during the butt giggling game anyway. 

But as you can see from the image below, while they may not have successfully covered each other’s back……..my boy got back.
