Whew. It's been a rough day around here. It all started when we woke up on the first day of spring to find the sidewalks covered in white and giant flakes still falling. My cough has now transferred to two of my three littles. Camilla's got a cute "stuffed nose" voice, and Joe is just plain grumpy. I spent the majority of my day doing impossible tasks (like spooning cookie dough onto a cookie sheet) with Joe propped on my hip while he whined. When I needed to put him down he would sit at my feet and cry, or latch onto my leg, or chase me around the kitchen screaming... On top of an awful croup sounding cough, he is also cutting a couple of teeth. I figured I might lose my sanity by lunch! He napped two and half (I say half because one was a ten minute snooze in the van) times today and still fell asleep at his regular 7:00PM bedtime.
While I put him to sleep I listened to Camilla downstairs, "Just one more bite Hyrum. That's it! Now eat this one, this is the best part. Almost done. Good boy Hyrum!" Such a little mommy that girl is. She was determined to get both of them some dessert and sweetly helped him eat his dinner. I don't know what it is about that boy, but the only way he ever eats his dinner all gone is if someone else feeds it to him. I also have to chuckle at Camilla because she always sits at the dinner table with one cheek on and one cheek off, or both feet on the floor so she can stand and wiggle while she eats. I always have to giggle when I tell her for the gazillionth time to glue her bum to the chair and she pretends to do it. But it only ever lasts a few minutes before those toes hit the floor and her wiggles return. I love her.
Whenever I needed a pick-me-up today I pulled out the video camera so that I could watch this. I can't wait for Joe-Joe to return to his giggly self again!
