i was able to attend my Bible class, CBS today all by my lonesome.
and, it was wonderful.
my sweet parents usually watch L because i'm not comfortable with him being in the nursery anywhere quite yet. but today, they willingly watched all three kids! i am grateful to them for allowing me such meaningful time out of hibernation. attending this completely refueled me and although i would have loved to go to coffee with a friend during this time away, this was absolutely, exactly what i needed.

here's L smiling at his little lambies that hang above his crib
(thanks for the photo, dad).
sweet little L has been giving us (and by us i mean B and me) a very rough time at night since we returned from the hospital. after briefly mentioning it to my college roomie Auntie L, she gave me the encouragement that i needed... and a plan. it's so wonderful how you can share your parenting woes with fellow mommies and within thirty seconds have a new plan. i always love a new plan. i am hopeful that tonight will be a better night for us all.

here is D with his "double decker Chinese bus."
i have no idea where he got this idea but think its wonderful.
(thanks again for the photo, dad!)
after i got home, L had pt and then it was naptime! and by this, i mean naptime for me. woo hoo. thanks to my sweet husband who watched the two big kids for an hour.

this afternoon, D and K did some coloring with the handouts i brought home from their CBS class. they each made three wise men.
one of the songs they've learned at CBS is:
"i'm h-a-p-p-y,
i'm h-a-p-p-y,
i'm glad i came to Bible study,
i'm h-a-p-p-y"
but of course, K sings it like this:
"i'm h-i-p-p-y,
i'm h-i-p-p-y,
i'm glad i came to Bible study,
i'm h-i-p-p-y"
she'll probably get it right one of these days.
or, she'll just start listening to the doors.
the kids and i had "macamoni" (which is what K calls it) and cheese since B was gone for the night. for D's birthday last month, he requested macaroni and cheese. i made my homemade dish and he cried and refused to take
one. single. bite.
what he wanted was the boxed mac and cheese from trader joe's.
B and I are going to attempt to watch this again tonight. the first night, we got too late of a start and last night, L was not being cooperative.
away i go.
