A Day in the Life of a Tiny Wolverine

[dalamar]

This is just from today's activities.

Piper: Climb couch. "Hi dad, what are you doing? Oh, working! I can help, I'll just type a quick message to your boss on your laptop. Hey wait don't put me down I'm not done!"

Dillon: Pounce. Pounce. Pounce. "Oh! Hi dad, I didn't see you there; wanna play?"

Me: Plays tag and other games with the kids for 45 minutes. "You all have been up for almost two hours now, aren't you sleepy yet? Well, I have to get back to work now."

Bandit: Climb. Saunter. Climb. Sniff. "Since daddy isn't using this computer right now I guess its OK for me to play on the desk. Is that a Coke can I see?" Eyes glaze over. "It is!" Knock over Coke can. Drink as much as possible and remember to look surprised when daddy gets back.

Me: Groan. Clean. Chase after Piper and Dillon (Piper has my mouse in her mouth and is heading under the couch and Dillon is running off with the network cable for my desktop).

Malcolm: Attack dad's feet. Attack dad's feet. Attack dad's feet. Go potty. "That's strange, there's a plastic box in my poop corner. I wonder who put that there? Well, I'm not a bad boy so I'm not going to poop in it."

Malcolm: Hide daddy's things under the couch.
Piper: Hide daddy's things under the couch.
Dillon: Hide Piper's things under the couch.
Bandit: Hide food under the couch.

Wolverine nap time. (2 hours out of the cage and 1-2 hours of sleep).

Wake up. Go potty (but not in the box). Get food and drink. Find dad.

Rinse and repeat.

The new toy is a SuperPet cage that I have turned into a jumbled mess of cage walls, tunnels and other things they play with, including the dig box.

Malcolm: Leap from second story of cage when doors open. Get caught by dad. Check out the new 'toy'.

Dillon: Watch Malcolm fall. Walk down two ramps and out of cage. Check out the new 'toy'.

Bandit: Try to sneak food out of cage. Check out the new 'toy'.

Piper: Roll over and go back to sleep.

Malcolm: "Oh where did this come from? Well I'm not going to mess with it until dad sa... Is that a tunnel?" Run into tunnel. Chirp and Dillon.

Bandit: Jump into box. Jump out of box. Jump into box. Jump out of box. Run in circles.

Dillon: Chase Mal from outside the tunnels. Run back to grab dad's leg. Go back to chasing Mal.

Piper: Get dragged out of bed by dad. Go potty. Run to the new toy. Climb the new toy. Pounce on Dillon.

45 minutes later...

Piper: "Hi dad! Why is my toy on your ear? I'll just come and get that. Hey, stop moving I can't reach it! That's MY toy and I want it back!

Me: "Piper don't grab at my bluetooth headset while I'm on a conference call!"

Bandit: Climb. Climb. Walk on dad's desk. "Daddy's desk is really messy; I'll just clean it off for him. He doesn't need all these papers anyway." Sniff. "These small green pieces of paper smell funny, I'm sure daddy wouldn't want them on his desk, I'll just move them."

Me: "Bandit! come back here with my money! No, not under the couch!" Groan.

Malcolm: "Oh daddy's playing with Bandit, I want to play too." Grab dad's leg. Bite dad's foot. Claw dad's foot."

Dillon: "I want to have fun too!" Pounce on dad's leg.

Piper: Search for black ear thing.

30 minutes later...

Me: Move couch back into place. "From now on I'm keeping my money in my pocket!" Go play with the babies.

Wolverine nap time. (90 minutes out of the cage and 1 hour of sleep)

Wake up. Go potty (again, not in the box). Get food and drink. Find dad. I think I'm beginning to notice a pattern here.

Piper: "This time I'm going to get it. I'm almost the same color as the couch, so if I just lay really still he won't see me behind him when he sits down." Ponder. "Why is he petting me? How did he know I was here!"

Bandit: Climb. Climb. Climb dad. Stare at Piper. Climb on desk.

Malcolm: Eat chicken.

Dillon: "Mal! Don't eat that thing; you don't know where its been!"

Piper: "Now's my chance while he's busy talking to himself, but he can't know what I'm doing so I'll trick him." Lick dad's ear. Lick dad's neck. Lick dad's ear again. Lick dad's other ear. Gran headset!!! Run!

Me: Switch phone to stop using headset. Finish call with boss. Find Piper.

Piper: "Oh, hi dad. I'm glad you're here. I took that rubbery thing off for you. I'm sure you didn't want it on your head."


I rescued my bluetooth headset from Piper twice today. She seems to like to attack things with the texture of the earplug, which is why my mouse is missing the rubber from the wheel.

Malcolm has decided that he didn't like that name, so has since changed to Bear.

Bandit: Wake up, sniff around the cage for any left over food. Then go potty.
Bear: Wake up, sniff around the cage for any left over food. Then go potty.
Dillon: Wake up, go potty.
Piper: Wake up, go potty.

Me: Feed the babies, do work, let the babies out of the cage.

after an hour of running around...

Dillon: Jump up and grab dad's leg, because "he wouldn't leave it just lying around if he didn't want me to jump on it."

Bear: Bite dad's feet. Show dad that I learned to climb the couch, and the desk, and the end table.

Bandit: Wait until dad isn't looking. Sneak into the cage. Grab hidden food. Sneak out of the cage and under the couch. Eat.

Dillon: "Gee Bandit, you sure are smart. Can you sneak in and get my food for me too?"

Bandit: Sneak into the cage and get Dillon's food. Give food to Dillon. Go back to eating.

Piper: Think of a way to get dad's attention. Bite dad's foot. "Oh! Hi dad, want to play?"

Me: Play with Piper.

Bear: Eat dad's breakfast while he play's with Piper.

Dillon: Chase dad around the house until he falls down. Yelp when dad 'falls' so the others can come play with him too!

Bandit: Grab dad and hide him behind the bookshelf. "Come on dad, I'm going to put you over here where you'll be safe. We can't have you running off and getting lost now."

Piper: Bite dad's foot. Bite dad's other foot. Bite dad again. "Oh hi dad, I didn't see you there. Since you aren't busy, why don't you pick me up and dance with me?"

Wolverine nap time. (2 hours out of the cage and 1-2 hours of sleep).

Wake up. Go potty (some in the litter box some not). Look for food. Eat food.

Dillon: Climb couch. Invite dad to come play.

Bandit: Try to figure out how to open every door I can find.

Bear: Look for more food.

Piper: Climb couch. Help dad with his work. Lick dad's ears.

Bear: Attack dad's feet. Attack dad's feet. Attack dad's feet.

And all that was just this morning!
