My siblings and their kidlets leave tomorrow. The kids were sad when we left this evening. They did so great! Dekker is definitely still shy, but waaay less! He only got upset a few times, and he warmed up very well to his aunt and uncle. Even when he was choosing not to play with everyone, he was always inquiring where each person was so they wouldn’t be missing out. It was pretty much adorable. Laela, on the other hand, was in there like a dirty shirt. Her latest toy of choice in the Tupperware shape sorter. She can do it all by herself, which I count as an accomplishment. Of course, as an adult, the shape sorter is not big deal, but I’m pretty impressed that she has the patience to even sit that long, but then get each and every one in where it belongs! Go Laela go! Rowan slept most of the day, which was a treat. Not that we don’t like having him around, but he ate better today that he did yesterday, and I think the sleeping has something to do with it. Big wins all around!
In the afternoon, My mom, Grace, and I rushed into the city for a quick shop while the boys and Laela hit up the playground for a bit. They ran themselves fairly ragged (in a very good way) while we enjoyed our shop, even though we didn’t come out with any purchases. Upon arriving home, we put together a delicious supper of burgers, potato salad, and chips, and then played like crazy until it was home time.
Our kids are CASHED OUT. Dekker fell asleep in the van, which isn’t ideal since it was so close to bedtime, but neither he or Laela has made much sound at all since we put them down a half hour ago. Rowan is drinking like he’s never tasted milk, so hopefully he has a good stretch of sleep as well. And as for Brady and I, we’re feeling nice and tired as well, but if you know anything about us, the tub comes first. A bath it is! And then bed, like everyone else in this house. Perfect.
