naptime update

this e-mail just arrived from Jessica and it's worth posting for the harder core Art/Lew followers:

Josh stopped by on the way to the hardware store around 11 and he and Art walked down to 48th and back.  Then Art played in the backyard knocking "pins" down, but this time he would set two of the toddler chairs on the top of the back steps, walk around to the back of the steps and kick them down.  He was "devastating" them.  Then he starting playing "baseball" by throwing the blue bowling ball into the plants.  I asked him not to do that so he started to roll down the tipped wheelbarrow, which he then said was making "thunder".  Then we came in to eat a little bit.  I said, "It's time for your nap," and he said, "Yeah, it's time for my nap," (!).  We went upstairs, I tucked him in and sang a song.  He asked for the door closed.  I was downstairs starting up Colbert and trying to lull Lew to sleep when I heard a faint, "Mama?" and then all of a sudden Art's voice was at the top of the stairs.  "Mama - I dropped my gackoo outside.  It got all dirty!"  He apparently had gone to look out his window, opened it and his blue gackoo fell out.  That was sort of funny.

His sunflower is TWICE as tall as it was yesterday.  WOW!
