Kate has a few new sayings. Her current favorites, which are used All The Time:
- how 'bout (how 'bout cookie? how 'bout Dora? how 'bout ice cream cone?)
- might be in ... (timeout, the box, the kitchen, my bed, etc)
- good idea (how 'bout cookie, Mommy? good idea - she usually answers her own questions. Is that a bad sign?)
This morning I babysat Tempie, my sister's 6-month-old. It is now 1pm and I just unloaded the dishwasher, I have not yet showered or gotten dressed, the living room is a Disaster, and all I want to do is take a nap. I didn't mind babysitting, it just gave me firsthand insight into how crazy a household with 3 little ones would be.
Now, for that nap.

Wait . . . do you shower and dress by 1pm on a regular basis? Wow.
I hope you really got a nap!
Glad I'm not the only one. When my grandchildren are over (3yr, 2yr, 3mo) the only direction any movement occurs is toward anarchy. Thought I was just a wimpy gramma. Now that I think of it, not sure I recall if my daughter being dressed and showered when they arrived... :)
Elizabeth - well, most of the time. It depends on Tim's schedule a lot. It's so much easier to do when he's around. If he's not, which is usually the case, I put Kate in the pack n play in the den in front of the computer and let something from noggin run. Claire goes in her crib for her nap. I fear for the day Kate is able to sneak out of the PNP and unlock the front door so she can go play in traffic while I enjoy my quick soak.
Andrea - a nap: 10 minutes or so. Hey, it was a nap!
Dinah - ha! Anarchy. That's a pretty good description.
Try 4 children with a husband who's always traveling and then give yourself back problems and it will be obvious why I'm often in pajamas all day and showers are not a daily occurrence. However, all the baby commercials are right and they don't stay little... I can't believe Isaac's already over 7 1/s months and Noah just turned 2!
PS Happy Birthday!
