Play time, learning time!

The kids aren't sleeping great the last week or two and are a bit tired.   Sometimes they wake at night and have to go potty. Other times, they just need a quick snuggle. Then this morning at 5 AM, I woke to the sound of Gordon's voice, "I am Sam. Sam I am. That Sam I am....." I went in to find him up and reading Green Eggs & Ham by Dr. Seuss. I convinced him to lay down to read quietly and he fell back asleep in minutes. Jeff told me later that he thinks Gordon had been awake for a while before we heard him. Jeff woke up to a strange sound and thinks it must've been Gordon turning the pages in his book. What a cutie!

Adele's having a crabby phase after her week+ sweetie-pie phase. I'm wondering if she's getting ready for a growth spurt. She sure is packing away the food right now! 

Walter is such a happier boy now that he's potty-trained. He's off his daily laxative and he's so much more comfortable all the time. It makes my life a lot easier now they are all potty trained. There are things that take a little longer, but kinda like when we gave up bottles, the things that are harder don't bother me as much as the bottles & the diapers did. 

The kids are actually taking a nap today. I think I wore them out with all of our running around. We ate breakfast, then played at the house for a few minutes.  We packed into the car and went to the Killaloe playground. We ran around about an hour and the kids then happily piled back into the car for music class. We had a great time dancing and singing and this time I remembered to bring filling snacks, not just cookies. So that way when we got home, they just ate a quick bite and went down for naps. That's much easier then trying to squeeze in a late lunch.

As we were getting ready to go, Adele kept insisting we needed to go to the store.

Gordon and Adele traded coats today. We had the playground to ourselves, which is always nice.

The kids were happy to leave the playground and head to music class. They just love to dance and sing!

Story time

All 3 kids participating in one of their favorite songs, which I think I mis-labeled on the video. LOL!
