Calm Trouble

Tonight Mommy went to bed early since she has to get up at 1 AM. So for dinner the boys did their typical throwing a fit because they did not want fish sticks. After doing what I could to get Andy to stop crying I told him if he did not stop I would set him outside to eat.

So of course he did not stop so I set him on the side steps by the kitchen to eat. After a very short time of crying all I hear is this calm but upset Daddio, Daddio, Daddio, Daddio from him. I continued to stand by the door looking at him but he would never look at me instead he just continued to look up. I did not think anything of it and went off. For about 4 more minutes it continued and Samuel went to open the door so I went in the kitchen to shut the door and see how Andy was doing when I noticed he was now standing in the corner of the stair case slightly shaking still looking up saying Daddio. I went outside to sit with him while he ate thinking that is what he was wanting but it was not.

As I asked him if he would be good and stop crying so Mommy could sleep or if he wanted me to stay out there with him while he ate, all he could reply back with was Daddio and a finger pointing upward. As I turned my head to look upward I almost fell down the stairs when I saw this huge red spider with the body at least an inch long. Nothing like I have ever seen before. After catching my self I took off my sandals and killed the thing and became Andy's hero, even after being the guy who made him sit outside to eat.

The crazy part about it all was that Andy even though scared crazy was super calm just yelling Daddio.
