So that ADD I mentioned kicked in, and I haven't posted anything. It doesn't help that my family is in the process of helping my grandparents move. You wouldn't think that repainting a house and moving two people's belongings across the street would be that big of a deal, but it definitely is. The move almost done, and we're all exhausted. The good news is my kids are sleeping a LOT. The bad news is when they're awake they're basically hellions.
Over the last few days I had an hour long standoff with Ella about going to bed. She cried so long I thought she was going to throw up. Sam has learned a new bad word. (What the ....) He used in the correct context and everything. Not sure where he learned that one. My reaction in those situations is always a mixture of horror and inappropriate laughter. I know it's awful, but that stuff coming out of his little mouth is perversely funny to me sometimes. Especially when I'm exhausted.
There have been some fun moments. Last night, Sam was talking to Sophie. He proceeded to explain to me that Sophie was a cutie, but he was a "handsomie". Later he elaborated that he and Dad were "handsomies", and Sophie and Ella were both cuties. I was left out of that ,so I'm not sure what that means.
And now my kids are all napping. My house is quiet. I should be cleaning up the mess from the busy weekend, but instead I'm just enjoying the peace and quiet for a while. Sometimes the housework can just wait.
I am sure he considers you one of his cuties! And you are right; sometimes housework can wait!
