last moments of mothers day




just finished putting the kids to bed.

every night ida is a different animal.  tonight she was a piggy.  for some reason when she is a piggy she sucks her thumb and snorts funny.  the other night she was king kong.  this means she says "whoo-haaa" in a low gruff voice, then crawls around on her bed like a monkey, walking on her knuckles.  then sometimes she is a puppy, meaning a lot of rolling around, wagging her "tail" and licks on my cheeks.  in the meantime, eli is usually over in his bed blabbing up a storm.  it's bits and pieces of his day.  random thoughts, omissions, questions, confessions, concerns.  every few minutes i have to tell him "GOODNIGHT!  PUT YOUR RETAINER BACK IN AND GET TO SLEEP!".

i love them, i love them, i love them.  kids, you made my mothers day complete.

I love Ida's version of King Kong. "Whoo-haa, Whoo-haaa"

I find it so difficult that the time they want to talk the most is always at bedtime when I am so completely wiped out. Do they share a room? I love that.
