Wednesdays with Leo ~ 4

The park was empty, an entirely new experience for Leo and me.  I had brought my camera as I had wanted pictures of Leo on his "superhero" car.  As soon as I took it out, he asked that I please not take any pictures of him :)   I told him I was aiming away from him (which, in truth I was doing when I was telling him this). 
"Are you taking pictures of the swing set? That's weird.  Nobody is there"
In no time at all, I was taking pictures of Leo...hoping he wouldn't notice.  


  On the motorcycle, Leo began his superhero's travels.
 "I'm Wolverine but I'm on Flash Gordon's car. See the flames?"
Leo notices that Flash's car has a flat tire.
"Ok, Flash. I'm Wolverine and I fixed your tire!"
Villians are chasing Wolverine...
...as he makes his escape!
When Leo had run the playscape gamut, he looked down on me and asked,
"Do you know what this is?
"A number twirling thing?"
"It's a letter sign. And it says 'Please don't take any more pictures!'"

Which is why when we later went to be with Lucia, I left my camera at home.

One more thing: I was packing clothes for Leo at his house and had pulled out red with blue and white side striped jogging pants.  I already knew that Leo insists on wearing "jeans with zippers and a snap", 1 of which was already in his bag. Knowing we would be at Martha's later, I didn't want to risk another accident. Leo wasn't too happy with my choice, but didn't fuss about it too much. Catching his reaction, I told him that he needed to pay attention to when he needed to pee because if he did have an accident, I was going to make him wear the jogging pants.  I was only joking (he really just wants his jeans!) and didn't even know if he was listening to me; I was saying this as we were walking out the door.
Well: Leo was the Man on Wed.!
And I guess it shouldn't have surprised me when he said to me, the first time I suggested he might want to use the bathroom,
"Of course I will because if I don't, I know you're going to put on those pants I don't like!"
