Crazy Stuff!

I am never sure what I am facing when I get home from work.  Today it was no nap for Phoebe and a smashed head for Ellie who didn’t seem to appreciate an ice pack.  Rudy, however, enjoyed it when Phoebe used it to tend to his “boo boo”.   Ultimately everybody was good and Phoebe played around with her toys while I read to Ellie.   I like to stretch out playtime so that the kids are still eating when Cristin gets home.  That way, if there is a shut-down she can bring in new energy with whatever she has left after her two hour commute.  Today this was not an issue as the ladies ate heartily and a simple lesson for Ellie on yes (shake head) and no (nodding) turned into some kind of game for Phoebe. Cristin finally got home and we played with the wooden cupcakes in the kitchen.  Ellie likes to carry them around for balance while she does her zombie walk and just when you think you are safe, she will toss them directly at your toes.  I hope tonight goes as smoothly. Jinx.
