real quick...

we read this story tonight, "my daddy and i" (and yes, it SHOULD be my daddy and ME!!!), and it's all about what these two kids do with their daddy. the last page is of a boy, a girl, and their daddy, holding hands. i said, "look! it's nora and jamey and daddy". nora quickly said, "no, it's david, and you were in the hospital because you were very sick. that's why you aren't there". umm... okay? i asked, "could i have just stayed home while you had a daddy date". i was told, "no, you were very sick. you were at the hospital".

jamey was so sad going to bed tonight. his lower lip stuck out further than normal. he was just sad. it was so precious. the other day for nap time, as he started to cry (normal even when he was in the crib, usually only lasting minutes), i said, "i'll come back". he said, "okay, be right back". i have realized that if i reinforce that i WILL be back to get him, it goes better. there might still be tears, but not as many. sweet boy... his whole world has been turned upside down!

i usually am of the dump my kids in bed quickly at 7pm. i LOVE the quiet time that comes after. i think most moms agree, after being ON all day, it's nice to have the quiet. don't get me wrong, i LOVE my kids. but i LOVE the me time! this week has been a change. i LOVE laying with jamey and putting him in bed. i love reading to the kids. we have been having fun. i have really been enjoying my kids... the zoo, the beach. they are at such fun ages!
