Don't Forget Today

I was standing in the kitchen and looked into the school room to see how the kids were coming on their art project. The sight of all four of them together captivated me momentarily, and I imagined a nearby future where they are older. I loved the simplicity of this afternoon where we tore paper to pieces to form penguins playing on the ice. And I thought to myself, "Don't forget today."

Just Me and the Babies

We went grocery shopping today while the big kids were at art class. A while back, Scotty taught Shari Brooke about "driving" the shopping cart; and today, Shari taught Max!

She Makes Her Own Fun

Shari Brooke, like Scotty, takes care of herself in every way. She can feed herself, dress herself, and entertain herself. And like Scotty, the reason may be because she is left to her own devices  so much. 

Today, while she had twenty minutes to herself, she put on her rain boots (this is standard attire for Shari -- even with pajamas), found a rain jacket (Grant's), and went outside to fetch a trike.

I guess she didn't want to ride in the rain.
