LOL... why not. So today Andrew lost his first tooth! And his second. I cant believe he lost both in one day! So cute. I remember when they first came in ... we were so proud and excited... and now they are in a baggie in my jewelry box... and we are so proud and excited that they are out. Time flies.
In other news, Liam is now able to climb to up to the fort on the swingset. Without help. Or even supervision. No more letting the kids out to play while I get things done inside!

Playing with kids

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

I just dont like it. I love to have conversations with my kids, and to make observations with them - like on a walk or drive. I (usually) enjoy doing actual things with them, like baking. But playing? It is torturous. I can barely keep my eyes open and focus on the playing that I am supposed to be doing. Elaina right now keeps trying to get me to play fairy/mermaid/somethingorother... and I keep losing focus. Of course it doesnt help that she is super bossy, and her version of playing involves telling me exactly what to say and do. We did a puzzle and that was fun, and we had a tea party, and that was good too. But I am now looking forward to Andrew coming home and they can play.
