Alter Ego

So, Bridger is hilarious. I need to get better at writing down all the hilarious things he does or says - I am sure it could fill books.

Lately he has had an "Alter Ego" that seems to visit - and this alter ego is not very kind. One minute Bridger will be playing contently or we will be riding in the car, then suddenly will yell "Ouch" or "OW!". I will look over at him and he will have a handful of his own hair, or have a really strong pinch on his own cheek. I will ask "Is everything okay?" and Bridger will tell me:"He's pulling on me!". Puzzled, I will then say: "Bridger, be nice to Bridger." And amazingly, the hurting stops. Hmmm... Is this the beginning of trying to tattle on your sibling? Only the sibling is a little too small to cause any real trouble thus far. Hmm...
Also, Bridger has begun pretending to be animals - I mean REALLY pretending. First, the favorite was a dog, which B would portray by crawling on hands and knees, going up to someone - licking that person (major slobber lick), then saying "woof".

Today, we were walking home from the park and B gets off his bike, runs to the middle of some stranger's yard, gets down on all fours and bends over and takes a BITE of the grass! Totally random! I asked (or maybe yelled) "What are you doing?", which he responded to by saying "I'm bunny rabbit!". Again... Hmm...

What a fun, funny boy. This picture I thought was cute - we had a play date with our neighbor and she and B would take turns riding his trike through the house.

Could be worse - my cousin's little boys would pretend that they were dogs and would only eat their food out of a bowl on the floor.

Hilarious - a mean alter ego? Kids are so nuts, I love it.
