Litte Things Like Cookies
10 years from now I hope to still be doing this blog. 10 years from now I imagine I will find a lot of strange photos and this will be amongst the strangest of them. What was it about my day that inspired it?
It is a photo of some things I taught the kids to make today. A reminder that it is the little moments in life that really are the great ones. At this time the girls still want their new daddy to lie with them in the bottom bunk. How long will this last? As long as it can. Until then I want to cherish those moments, savor them for the rocking chair days. I wont remember the bonuses, or the fights or the houses. I will remember lying with the girls letting them feel comfortable and safe in my arms before falling asleep.

Dolphin
Dolphin is E’s toy to cuddle with in bed. I am all about stuffed animals in bed but I have come to realize that you need to put boundaries on things. It has gotten to the point that the bedtime ritual of swapping toys from one bed to another takes way too long. So we have instigated the one toy in bed rule tonight. Dolphin didn’t make it, Kermit did though!
On a side note, the kids kept falling asleep on the way home, so I made N the sleep cop, whenever someone fell asleep N was to poke them to wake them to keep them awake. Guess what N got in trouble for during nap time at the daycare…
