Not having to be anywhere today.
Will-O took Scarlet to her bud's 4th b-day this am and I lounged around with Little Li. (Side note: this friend of Scarlet's is named Abbey and is the cutest thing and has a little kid raspy voice which kills me. S. refers to her as "my best friend" at her preschool. When I asked her over a year ago what makes Abbey her best friend, she said "She's always smiling and thinks I'm funny." That is great friend criteria. Well it turns out Will-O and Abbey's dad played college football together! Co-winkie.)
Liam has fully transitioned to one nap a day and it is quite a snooze--just shy of 4 hours (love you).
When Scarl returned home around 1pm, she was happy and excited to tell the party tales. She relayed an incident where a boy was being "rude and bossy". She said (I swear, it's verbatim) "I stayed tough and confident and was pleased how I did it." Will-O corroborated this one and said "yeah, she stood her ground." (As opposed to crying and tattling--we're now in that stage.)
Will-O left to record stuff for roughly 10 hours so there was more home-bound hanging about--just Mama and kids. A leisurely day with no running around. (And much bathrobe wearing). Novel.
Worst Part of the Day-
Our backyard fence has issues. Perhaps it would make sense to an engineer or architect person (I sooo am neither) but from my perspective, the most unlikely parts of the fence have started to fall over. A midsection here, a front part there. And to my knowledge there has been no trauma or precipitating events (see--the ER lingo is back) to make these random parts fall down. If I were a crazy person I would think the fence has a mind of it's own and it trying to tell me something--something ominous? On a functional level, it is annoying as the kids were once neatly corralled in the backyard and now they could break free at any moment. This is one more task added to the household list.
