Clearing schedules can be so liberating to me. Even when my days are full of really fun things to do. Today we were suppose to go The Children's Song toddler program (that Waldorf School in KC that I just decided I must go check out), and book club tonight. Tomorrow was to be more blueberry picking. Everything - cancelled! The boys need to be home.
Instead we jumped in puddles, played in the garden, snapped green beans and... got Will's hair cut! Pics to follow. It really was just a trim - out of his eyes.
It was a great day until about 4 pm when Will gets so exhausted he's falling over himself, hitting Jack, and throwing toys at me. I am working on getting him to understand that when his eyes and body are tired, he can lay down. Noooo way, he says. After getting pummeled with a couple more toys, I told him he will need to go in his room and lay down by himself to settle down. Tears followed as if I just said I was abandoning him. The Sleep Issue is such a freakin'.... Issue in this house. Actually, the real Issue is lack of Rhythm. But I hide behind the more noticeable and easier to blame Sleep Issue.
Tomorrow morning we will walk the 3 blocks to my sister's house and bake banana bread with cousin Reed and grandma, who will be babysitting.

It was so liberating to ME to have cleared the evening too. I'm glad it worked for all of us to postpone bookclub. Audrey is so much better, but was still feverish. It was nice to be bored out of our minds for a change....all day...rather than jumping from one thing to the next.
Off to buy the book I'm supposed to be reading:)
