Teddy always brings over a book and says “Read it.” He has now begin saying “Read it” if I pause in the middle of telling a story or singing a song. If he hasn’t snuck away to do something he shouldn’t be doing, he is off reading.
I could have gone to a party with Kehinde Wiley and one with Pharell but instead I feed two babies and watched TV with MJ. I enjoyed it more.
I recently spoke on a little panel about applying to preschool and a day later a panel about women and digital media. I think I got the topics confused.
I was telling Charlie about how I used to ride horses and he asked “Did they have saddles then?”
Charlie :”Will you take me to buy a tie because I never bought a tie at a store and sometimes when I wear my tee shirt it doesn’t feel good cause I need a tie?”
Teddy has really been feeling two recently and wakes up every morning screaming about clothes (which he learned from his brother). He also climbs in and out of his crib. The boys like to spend at least 30 minutes every night jumping into one anthers beds when they are supped to be sleeping.
Charlie and Teddy loved going to Granpa’s 70t birthday party and really loved the cake Hannah and Milly has Ace of Cakes make for him with everyone’s picture on it. My favorite parts were hanging out with Hannah and Milly, watching Charlie dance and MJ give an incredible toast (he is so good at that). Scottie and Nell got to meet their great aunt and uncle at brunch the next day.
The girls have been sleeping for the most part through the night for the past few weeks. Last night Nell woke up at 3 and cried until about 5:30. I rocked her, patted her, tried everything and she wouldn’t stop until I held her while I laid on their (freezing) nursery floor. Shockingly she didn’t wake anyone else up. And on the up side, if I was going to be up all night at least I got to hold a cute little baby.
The other day we came in the house and MJ took a crying Teddy up to nap, I ran into the other room, Huck was barking and the babies were crying. I had to run downstairs to grab something and when I came back up Charlie was sitting in between the two babies, holding a pacifier in ones mouth and rocking the other in her car seat. It was the sweetest thing I had ever seen. Charlie is so amazing.
