Now that we are at a round 4, that is 2 multiplied 2 times, life has taken on a more celestial form. I am more in love with motherhood and both my children. Heart wrencher for the week:
On Monday, my first full day alone with 2 kids, Faith decided to help me out with Danny. I had him only floor being awake so Faith decided to play. She got a ball and started to play catch with Danny. I was wary that she would throw the ball AT Danny, but she threw it by him. When he did not go and retrieve the ball, she fetched it for him, took it back to his little hand, put it in his hand and began to explain, in her own language, how this game is supposed to work. She went back to her throwing position and attempted to play catch with Danny again. He again lay on his blanket oblivious to the rules, so she explained once more to her little brother how the game works. On the third attempt, she gave up the game and went for a different strategy. She went to her room and got a simple book to read to him. She sat down next to him, but the book where they both could see the pictures and read him "Row, Row, Row."
How could I not love this? It certainly helps that Danny is really chill and Faith is figuring out her role rater well.
