Humpday
Over the proverbial hump….ready for the weekend to approach!
Little moments:
Wheaton, coming out last night, all bed-headed and droopy to say, “Dad…they’re having a battle. Bears and bunnies and swacking each other.” Sometimes sharing a room 3 ways isn’t so fun. 
Rowan, learning to make a “mad face” with no tears behind it, just to show his displeasure at being left in his crib or high chair. He screws up his nose and scowls and grunts.
You may have to understand the 7-9 year old sense of humor to appreciate how hard it was for us to get through an art lesson today on the Renaissance. All those naked people, on chapel cielings no less…..I think I’ve heard “ewww…it’s a winky” enough today!
Rowan slept through the night last night to 4 am! No crying at 11! Or 1! Or 3! And he nursed and slept to 7 after that! David woke up astounded that he’d had DREAMS last night! I don’t think my body quite knew what to do with all that sleep!
Wheaton went to work with David today; usually one child at a time gets to go once a week on one of his runs. It’s a definate perk of this job. All those winding Tennessee roads did a number on W’s tender tummy…he puked into a coffee can and slept the whole way home. Getting onto our street he woke up and said, “Well! That didn’t take too long!”
He’s been a character today for sure….he has started narrating his moves. He’ll run through the house saying, “and he runs! He scores! He goes in for the tackle!” and we don’t even watch much football! Later today he was on the couch with his blanket on his lap saying, “I’m nursing my old gah. Here…time to nurse him on the other side.” 
It’s been a pretty good day. David got an order with a really big company he’s been working on and the admiration of his bosses, who’d been unable to get the business themselves. We’ve had three good school days and pretty, if warm, weather. The Bolognese sauce on our gnocci was particularly good tonight; warm and comforting…the kind of italian that makes you think you hear distant accordian music. Just needed a nice wine with it and some hot bread.
There’s one sleepy headed baby man needing to hit the hay, so off I go.
