Getting Into The Home Routine

Yesterday was a great day. Conor had his first basketball game of the season (did GREAT). I had anticipated that Michael and Conor would do this one alone as Ariana would need settling time at home. She was doing so well that the whole family went to the game - and then dinner at Azteca (with Denise and Eric). Ari had a great time toddling around at the basketball game. Gabrian was amazing. He sat or stood on his chair and cheered for Conor the whole time, requiring almost no supervision. Ariana even sat in a high chair at Azteca! Hooray! Then, we came home for the Zags game, which the toddlers actually let us watch.

Today . . . the competition between Gabrian and Ari is heating up, especially on Gabrian's part. If Ari needs a diaper, so does he. When it's time for Ari's clothes, it's also time for him to get dressed. He wanted me to spoon-feed him his yogurt during Ariana's breakfast (ironic since this request followed a near-fit as he insisted he would get his own yogurt out of the fridge - requiring use of a stool - and his own spoon, and scoot his own chair . . .) Any game must be done in equivalent and alternating turns. Michael says there's no way I will have the energy to do everything in duplicate 24/7.

I'm already scared of the laundry.
