baby got back... bacon!

i did respite tonight. the five year old refuses to poop unless he is naked so it's always a huge production. it seems to take forever to convince him to put his clothes back on when he's done. he would rather have this long conversation before re-dressing. quite a show. tonight was more interesting than usual given the fact that he refuses to respond to any name other than luke skywalker. here's a snippet of our conversation:
me: aidan, please put your clothes back on.
aidan: wait, i'm talking.
me: fine, at least put your underwear on.
aidan: no. not until you call me luke. remember?
me: sorry. please put your underwear on, luke.
aidan: luke skywalker.
me: please put your underwear on, luke skywalker.
aidan: okay.
oh, the joys of conversing with the youth of our nation. :)

i got a sweet neon light "bar" sign for Chrismukah from tom. it's pretty sweet. and an awesome punching bag from box. apparently, i'm now expected to cut back on the frequency with which i hit him and his roommates. i think it depends on whether or not they cut back on deserving it. :) i also got two sweet pug calendars. jeff and box and i sat around making titles for the pictures for a bit last night. we're pretty inspired, i must say.
