Pit Board – Jameson

“Daddy, daddy!”

I groaned, opening my eyes to the blinding light coming in through our tent. I got very little sleep with all the bugs and everything that happened last night. Oh, and when I finally did reach the tent, Arie wormed her way in between us.

I tired numerous times to put her on the other side of Sway but no, every time she found her way back to me and my sore back.

After about the tenth time of Arie saying, “You awake?” that morning, I opened my eyes to find her staring at me.

“Finally,” Arie sighed. Her big emerald eyes gleamed with brightness. “Get up,” she ordered pointing her tiny finger at me.

For being nearly three, she was demanding. I blamed Emma and Alley for that.

“Flowers,”

Oh, right. I promised her we’d pick flowers today. How we were going to find flowers here was beyond me. So far, all I’ve seen is red clay mud, water, and bugs.

“Daddy!” she yelled jumping on me. “Up.”

“I’m up sweetie, I’m up!” I turned over to see Sway was still sleeping. “Just let me make some coffee first. And don’t wake up mommy. She’s mad at me.”

She seemed to contemplate this for a moment. “One mimmut,”

“You are so adorable.” I grabbed her chubby cheeks in between my hands kissing her nose. “So adorable,”

“No me not.” She said sternly frowning as she pushed against my chest.

“Oh yes you are.” I tickled her ribs as she cackled, continuing until she was screeching loud enough to wake Spencer and Aiden.

I let her up after that so she could catch her breath. For the first time I noticed what she was wearing and I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing. She obviously dressed herself this morning. The outfit started-off normal enough, with a t-shirt and jeans but the jeans were tucked into bright yellow boots. Along with those she was wearing a pink ballet costume over the shirt and a tiara that was slightly askew from our tickling war, on top of her head.

Chuckling the words out, I muttered. “Ten minutes. Yes ma’am.”

Even though my little angel couldn’t tell time, I knew as by the way she stomped from the tent, she’d be back in less than two minutes.

Sure enough, Arie came stomping back, this time with a life jacket around her and a bucket in hand.

“What’s with the life jacket?” I knelt down to adjust the straps to fit her snuggly.

She glanced over her shoulder at the boys having an early morning water fight by the lake.

“Aunnie Amee,”

I saw Ami wave at me. After last night, she must have known the boys get a little crazy at times because she strapped life vests on Arie, Alexis and Lily for their safety.

Sway woke up with all the screaming from Spencer when Aiden threw a snake at him he found in the lake just before Arie and I left to pick flowers.

I heard her grumbling about the bugs and her cuts when she yelped as she unzipped the tent.
