Parker Worley: ninja.

I'm fairly certain that Parker is a brown belt...in karate.  He spends more than half of his day kicking away and most of my night.  He is really good at roundhouse kicks.  I can literally feel him kick on one side of my belly and roll across to kick me on the other side. 

Needless to say, It's only when I am the most active that he decides to calm things down a bit and nap.  I keep trying to explain to him that I really need rest before he arrives but I just don't think that the message is getting across. 

Every once in a while, I will poke him back.  This just ends in him kicking back at me.  His antics have made me realize that the odds of me having a stubborn, hard-headed kid just like Kevin and me just keep going up. 

I would not be the least bit surprised if he arrived in this world looking much like a ninja.  At least we know he will have strong legs and great coordination.
