Happy that 4 kids under the age of 3 are currently sleeping peacefully in the house. The dresser fell over on some climbers earlier, I was reprimanded for my poor skills in making PBand J, but now all is good.
Fina is almost running now, taking after big sis in the daredevil department. We got pictures last week at Sears and the photographer assumed that Fina was our 'difficult' baby-well that is most definitely not true. She is 'difficult' to diaper and cloth but all else is filled with ease. And of course "Frances" as she prefers to be called this week had difficult moments, but we like to believe that that means she will never let anyone walk all over her or be quiet when it's time to share an opinion. And boy oh boy did "Frances" love to pose for the camera! Perhaps she will be a model and share her wealth with her old parents.
The holidays are approaching and for "Frances" that means trading in blue paci for some Barbies with Santa Clause. I've been contemplating the fact that we are associating something so negative with Santa, but I really don't want to be the one to take the blame. So, yes, the heavy will lie on Santa.
The Backyardigans are in our background constantly these last few weeks. I am constantly amazed at Gretchen's memory. She seems to be able to recite whole shows after only seeing a few. Same with books. And dear Fina is already pretending to read and turning pages like a pro. We are happily raising readers and glad to pass on one of the great joys in life.
