If I Get Up I Might Fall Back Down Again

She’s at it again. She’s up to her usual espionage activities. She’s becoming more devious but less focused. I think after being out of the covert secret agent daycare for a year she’s forgetting how to plan. That gives me hope that I’m breaking her down with love and that one day she’ll be a normal drone pointlessly wandering the world just like the rest of us.

On Friday we were driving to her sitter’s house, the sitter who has no ties to the KGB and who is in fact quite hippy-ish in a very warm and welcoming way, when SB planted a bead up her nose. I’m not sure what the point was. She may have been expecting that it would cause us to divert to the nearest critical care center so that she could do some reconnaissance or perhaps the bead really contained top secret information that she was attempting to pass on to a contact posing as a nurse.

That’s possible now that I think about it. The necklace that the bead was taken from did come from a little girl in Poland. Perhaps there is a greater network than I thought?

Whatever her goal was she was much less oriented on it and very much in need of kisses and cuddles to make it through the ordeal. In fact, it was very similiar to her behavior tonight after she crashed over the wall of her crib. She has taken to vacationing from her bed in the evening when she’s feeling a bit peckish about sleep but tonight her agility failed her and instead of lighting dropping to the carpeted floor she landed with a thud. I went running and administered the necessary first aid for all her boo boos then pulled the mattress from the crib and laid it on the floor next to PK’s bed so there would be no more incidents.

Now that I ponder that split second decision of mine I wonder if it was truly the best idea. In fact, I’m beginning to think that this was part of her plan all along. Now she won’t wake PK when she decides to sneak out of her room to plant listening devices around the house or put trackers on my car.

I know it seems silly to think that she would be monitoring me so closely but it really does make sense. She knows that something is amiss and she needs to find out if she really has been cut off from her Polish contact. I think it will be a devastating blow to her end game when she realizes that line of communication has been cut. Someday when she’s foresworn her spy games she’ll thank me for the intervention.
