Sage is enjoying his time up alone a night, doing his quiet Sage things. Last night, he came to bed sometime around dawn (no clock in our bedroom, but there was that soft light coming in through the window). He crawled in beside me and went to sleep. Woke up around 12:30, happy and ready for a new day of discoveries. Dawn seems really, really late... early? but he *did* sleep until 3:00 pm the previous day, so he was just listening to his body.
He and Stone played for a while together, and then Sage played on the computer some and watched Speed Racer on Netflix.
This morning Saylor said... "I think Sage should have a bedtime."
I asked him why, and Saylor said that Sage misses out on so much of the day if he stays up late and sleeps til 3. I think Saylor misses him a wee little bit.

Who's in My Mail Box
I got home yesterday and when i came around the corner there was a strange little figure digging in the mail box. Yep it was my Sagey Boy wearing a bandanna with flames and one of his crazy Hawaiian shirts he make me laugh.

Rainy Night Walk
Grandma came over and picked up the boys this evening so she could have all the grandkids (emma was there) for awhile (zuri stayed here with us). They have a favorite past time at Grandma's of making funny videos on her computer, so that's what they were going to do there.
When she brought them back, it was raining, so the first thing Sage asked for was help finding his rain jacket. I got up from my cozy spot in bed (blogging :) to help him and we found it right away. He asked if I would come out with him, and there was no way I was going to pass up an invitation like that! So, we both geared up and went out into the pretty, still, wet and rainy night (it was about 9:30).
He asked if I wanted to go for a walk.
"Sure! But we can't go too far, because Zuri is asleep and I don't want her to wake-up and I'm not there and then she'll disturb Dad's sleep."
"Ok, where do you want to walk to?" he says.
"Um, we could walk down the street a little ways."
"Hey! How 'bout we go over to the alley." (he was referring to the parking lot that's just at the end of our street.
"Ok, that sounds good," I say.
He offers me his hand and then asks me why moms always want to hold their kids' hand when crossing the street. I explain to him that it just makes us feel better when we have our kids close to us, and that also, if he were to trip or needed help getting out of the way really quickly, that I would be able to do those things if I'm holding is hand. He said, "If a car was coming really fast, I would just shove my kid outta the way." "Well, yes, that would work if your kid was right beside you, but what if your kid was way behind you or way in front of you?" "Ohhhhh," he said with a new understanding.
So, we play around in the parking lot for a while, enjoy the city view, the shiny lights shining from far away. He asks me to pick out which tower I think is the tallest. He shows me the one he thinks is the tallest and explains that it actually looks the smallest right now to us, because it's really, really far away, but that it's actually the tallest one...way out there.
Then he says, "follow me". And we splash through some parking lot puddles and go over to a small landscaped area which has some large chunks of slate and a light shining up at a US and state flag. He notices how the rain looks when the drops are caught in the lights beam, and points it out to me. We watch it for awhile.
I suggest we go check to make sure Zuri is sleeping, so we follow a small stream out of the parking lot and Sage notices it gets deeper as it flows out. He then turns around and sees that everywhere he's just walked is all bubbles now.
We come home and he thinks we should just hang out in the backyard now, so we do. When we get back there he says, "what do you wanna do? should we just talk a little bit?"
"yes, that would be great," I say.
He finds the driest spot he can for us to sit and then he says, "should we play I Spy? or 20 questions? You pick."
I pick I Spy and he tells me I can go first.
When it's his turn to choose something for me to spy, he says, "do you want me to go easy on you?"
Laughing aloud, "Ya, I think you better go easy on me."
I say something about feeling nervous having Zuri in the house sleeping without me, and he assures me that I can just go check on her. So, I go and check... still snoozing with Dad, all's well. I scoop us each a spoonful of Nutella and go back outside and we just wander around the yard a little, which turns into looking for Ruka, because we can hear her faintly meowing, but we can't figure out where she is. (turns out, she was in the attic, but I guess we could hear her through the walls. weird.)
So Grateful that I chose to say yes to a request for a late night walk in the rain. Never a dull moment.
(as i wrap this up, he's here beside me explaining to me how the seasons work. gotta go and listen fully! :)

Magic Man
Will the real slim shady please stand up! Sage is the boy of many costumes I don't think he has any normal cloths you just never know who or what he is going to be for the day. Spiderman, Batman, combination of both. Now he is on a cowboy kick. Need a hat and spurs to complete the get up. His excitement in transforming is so much fun to watch he's got the goo as Steven Tyler would say. Pure, Real, Raw Emotion

My Jean Jacket
I have a jean jacket now. It's really cool. I hope I get a cowboy outfit. I want those things that goes around your mouth, and spurs, boots, the hat and that's all.
First Entry
I will begin writing for each child, in an on-line diary/journal.
I'll share things about Sage here. Things he does, says, creates, etc. I'll post pictures of what he's been doing and share little details that I don't want to forget.
Here we go...
