When she is off to school, my attention turns to my toddler. It seems that there is a nonstop snack time. As I sit here to write, I am continually interrupted to get Goldfish or "bnah". That's toddler for banana. There is nothing like having to stop in the middle of what you are working on to slice a banana. Sometimes bananas just have to be sliced for a moment of peace and focus.
Of course, it is always funny to watch what new thing my toddler will do today. Since I am working, she thinks it is her duty to work on her "pere" too. That one is toddler for computer. I am stopped in the middle of typing to laugh at what she is doing. Since being exposed to Ichat, she is yelling at her screen, "Daddy come home", in toddler speak. You can't help but laugh.
It is time to get started with some house work. At least I have a little helper who will follow me around and "help". Amongst changing diapers and fighting naps, I am hoping to get some work done.
What will the rest of the day bring?
As usual, instant chaos begins when my kindergartener enters the front door from school. A snack always has to be prepared, not only for her, but for my toddler as well. God forbid something happen without her being in on it. The only thing that seemed to calm down my kindergartener today was reading her new book that was sent home from class.
Calm moments are rare with my girls. Right now, they are in the middle of the kitchen floor with a white board and dry erase markers writing their own "blog".
I can't wait until bath time when "complete refusal to obey" and "go along with the routine" go out the window.
A little screaming, a little playing, and a little cooking round out the day until Dad gets home. I love when he walks in the door.
