How Did We Get Here?

is so much fun.  It’s almost worth the tantrums and sauciness.  Ok, it is.

On Monday Lydia and I had a visit from Kerem.  MIL and SIL were taking Emma out too do some school shopping and hey, how much fun is that with a two year old brother?  We don’t see them often and the last time Kerem was here was when sil needed to have a hole drilled in her head.  That’s a long story.

Isn’t he cute?  He’s such a good boy.

They had a great time together.

Lydia showed him how poop goes in the potty.

After Kerem left, I was scrambling to get ready to pick up Hannah.  Lydia got herself ready.

OK, that is not a going out of the house outfit.

And after a shower, my self sufficient girl likes to do her own hair.

She is just so much fun,.  She makes us laugh all the time.  The tantrums aren’t as often as they were and she now knows what follows one.  An apology and a cuddle.
