There are some long work days when BJ will go all day without seeing the kids, or he'll say goodbye to them in the morning and then won't be back until after they're in bed. On these days I try to remember a few funny or cute things that the kids do in order to share a bit of our day with him. Here are a few highlights.
--So for example, the other night Norah was distributing some play money to each of us from her cash register to buy some things from her food store. Toby, while playing with Legos, misplaced his money and could be heard shouting throughout the house "Where's my cash money???!!!!" (We later found the money under his Lego box.)
--And yesterday I spent all day on the couch with a stomach bug and nurse Norah at my side. We played Go Fish over and over and over again. The only thing that got me through it was Norah's mannerisms while she played. She called the periwinkle flower a "pinkwy fower." So cute.
--After Toby got home from school today we printed off some mazes and he sat right in the middle of the living room to do them. He looked up at me from his first maze and said, "Mom, you're the best maze-printer-outer ever."
--Speaking of computers, one time I asked Toby if he new his address and he said, "Sure! It's 930 Shennecossett dot com!" (Toby does not surf the web, but he does know all about pbskids.com, which is where he got the idea that addresses end in dot com.)
