"Ladies and Mommies! Welcome to the Big Circus!"My five year old makes this announcement in his pajamas as I'm entering the den this morning. The room is transformed into a makeshift circus ring, complete with a Spiderman tent and Native American drum, (to help introduce amazing acts, of course). "I am now an acrobat," he continues. "Little sister is Bonzo the clown, and little brother is the bouncing ball." The show goes on for several minutes while I fry "eggy bread" in the kitchen for the circus employees, and periodically shout "Wow!" as unbelievable stunts involving my leather sectional continue. I come to the baby gate that separates the den from the kitchen holding two plates of french toast. "Now, I would like to introduce our special guest," my son says to his sibling audience, who are also enthusiastic circus participants. "It is MOMMY the Great Elephant!"
This is a typical morning in my life.
