good old fashioned entertainment

Ok... I didn't take a picture but I have a minute and really want to record this 'magical' moment. 

The scene:  I'm cooking supper.  It's 4:45 (aka happy hour... aka crazy hour).  Ruby and Leo have been entertaining themselves beside me for about 20 minutes or so and I'm thinking to myself 'this is a good night!  no t.v.... just good old fashioned entertainment'.  Leo's in his ever-saucer and Ruby's playing music and running around and around Leo in the exer-saucer telling me, "I'm not getting dizzy mommy.  I'm NOT getting dizzy".  Leo's pretty much mesmerised by the activity.  

I leave for 30 seconds to go to the bathroom.  

Before I go, I put all knives well out of reach because Ruby's new favourite pass time is reaching for things on the counter.  

So... all knives and other dangerous items are gone.  It's ok to leave for the bathroom. 

When I get back, this is what I found: 

Leo has red sauce all over his face and he's holding a spoon of Indian curry sauce that his thoughtful sister Ruby mischievously handed to him.  Ruby thinks it's wonderful.  

Good old-fashioned entertainment.  

I wish I had been there to see the hand-off.  I wonder what she was really thinking when she gave him that spoon.  I guess I'll never know.
