My little man started first grade yesterday. He was excited to go back - he always does better with the structure and schedule of the school day. Summer vacation is so variable that by the end of it, we're all kind of climbing the walls. This summer my mechanic in training has been extra interested in generators, how electricity works and plumbing construction. Particularly exactly how big an object would have to be to cause a toilet to over-flow. So far we have tried, one hand, both hands together, and a foot. The foot was just the right size. My mother's bathroom has never been cleaned so often.
Cute picture, right? Baby Girl was so very very happy that her brother came home after school. The cuteness couldn't last though. What you don't see is that about 15 seconds later he decided to tickle her - the ultimate in torture - and she tried to kick him in the head. Sibling love, there's nothing like it. This morning I was concerned because it was suspiciously quiet in the front of the house. When I went to investigate, I found Abigial lying on top of Joshua on the floor. He looks up at me - clearly frustrated - and whispers, "Would you get her off of me please? She's not listening!" She looks up, glares, and screams "NO! Uba seeping!" She slaps him on the stomach. "Ah wub oo! Seep!" (Translation - Bubba's sleep! I love you, now go to sleep!) Gee, I wonder where's she's heard that.
