Here's the three, on the floor, playing with blocks, while I try and ignore them and read stuff on the computer. At this point in the day I'm barely awake and they're all clamering for food. Not usually my best time.
And Another One
And here are some new shoes, picked out by Emma, bought by Kay. Emma says her's are "just like Babba's" because they have holes in them, not because they have disney pictures of Cinderella.
Aedan has been cut off from an afternoon nap and now has trouble staying awake through supper.
Emma is learning to do dishes. Here she has stacked them carefully, as seemed good to her. She's actually very good at it and a big help. And of course, at this age, she thinks its a lot of fun.
Other General Information
The baby loves Matt. He likes me but he loves Matt. If Matt walks in the room and doesn't pick him up, he cries hysterically. He can now also climb all the way up the stairs which is deeply upsetting for everyone on hand.
Aedan is completely potty trained, even through the night, and basically a much happier person. His first inclination is to whine and cry, but we're all working on the difference between a Regular Boy Voice and a Whiny Annoying Voice and he's beginning to get it.
Emma is learning housework. She makes her bed, cleans the play room, cleans the living room, does dishes, clears the table, and puts away laundry. I can't tell you what a huge thing this is for me. Matt has been training her (and Aedan too some). He has taught her to rince and load the dish washer, and pick up a room and keep it picked up so that things don't get out of control. And she's happier with these various responsabilities.
And New Baby seems fine, although I'm not having that much movement so I hope you all will pray. I have an appointment in a week.
OH, and the baby loves to kiss people, especially his father, with a wide open mouth full of slobber. I've never met a baby who would do this with so much consistency. Its very sweet but also completely disgusting.
Alright, now I really have to go get in the shower, even though there's no hot water, because at 11:30 I have to go get my credentials for the festival, badges and so forth.
