Day 2167

I look forward to the day when the babies can read to themselves and we can all sit in companionable silence reading our own books. Sometimes it is torture putting down my book to read one of their books for the hundredth time. But at least it’s torture with a side of snuggles.

Day 2166

Chinchilla gave a sneak preview of ‘no’. I expect he will bring it back for many many many many encores once it makes its official debut.

Day 2165

We were discussing holidays with Lizard so that I could ask what her favourite one is and why. Naturally, we had to provide a list of examples of holidays.

As it turns out, one of her favourites is Superhero Day. Which happens in “Devember”.

All in favour of Lizard choosing all the holiday names?

Day 2164

Lizard starts exploring portraiture; Chinchilla explores scraping half the skin off a finger and then protests bandaids.

Let’s just say I know whose interests I want to encourage.

Day 2163

Chinchilla is getting very good at repeating words back to us.

That said, the words would be absolutely unrecognizable without context.

Every once in a while he surprises us. Last night he very determinedly told me “night” when he was done with stories and wanted to be put to bed.

Day 2162

Introduced the babies to the sprinkler today. I shudder to think how cold it will be before Lizard will admit that it is too cold for playing in the sprinkler.

Day 2161

Today I learned that running doesn’t have to be a terrible, no good, very bad time.

Today I did extra running ON PURPOSE.
