It started when he found a pair of Pop's sunglasses on the desk. Immediately he put them on and assumed a crazy, wide-legged crouch, saying "I'm Secret Agent Dennis." He gave some secret agent style hands gestures (okay sign, thumbs up, finger gun, etc) and then jumped up and turned and landed in another crouch. And then he rolled forward into a somersault, hopped up, and took off running. At the doorway, he gave a jump spin, landed into a crouch, gave us a thumbs up, turned another somersault, and then headed in another direction. I have no idea where the inspiration for this came from, but suddenly there he was, in his very own episode of Mission Impossible. I even started to sing the theme music. I gave him a mission: find and put on his tennis shoes in 30 secondes. He took so long crouching and spinning and sneaking that he was a little late in his accomplishment of the task. We were trying to get him out of the house and into the car so we could leave Gran's and Pop's house. It took a few "missions" to get out the door, and watching him stalk and sneak his way to the car, striking poses every few steps, was absolutely hilarious. We had to retrieve his sunglasses from my purse so that he'd leave Pop's pair behind. It was full on dark outside by this time, but that didn't deter our little agent. When we got to Arby's for supper, he had morphed into a regular hungry little boy... until we got inside. There he found a 'game room' with a sit-in flight simulator game. It was all we could do to get Pilot Dennis to stop and eat before he was off to pilot another commercial flight.
Tonight during his bath (after he played "oil spill" with a cup of bath water that was pretend 'oil'), he told me "Mommy, you're the best Mommy I've ever had!". Best compliment ever!
