blues

Cael’s favorite color is blue. He brings me a blue car, “boo,” hordes the blue binkies, separates out all the blue legos, points proudly to his blue pants, “boo.” He giggles and claps his hands when he finds a blue ball, a blue truck, a blue book, a blue pen. He gathers up an armful of blue booty to bring to bed, making a little hidden pile under the covers. In the morning he tracks down every last item from under the bed, in the bed, and across the room, to haul back downstairs again.
