Siblings

I just heard the ultimate sibling exchange:

Chloe says to Louis: "Do you want to play Uno?"
Louis: "No."
Chloe: "C'mon. I'll let you win."
Louis: "O.K."

Now that's desperation for a six year old! We are weathering the absence of school alright. It's hardest on Chloe, I think. She really wishes she could be in Mrs. Nessen's class right now.

I am actually enjoying being housebound today. I like the really slow pace of the day with no necessary errands or transitions. I wonder if school will resume tomorrow.........

While our little drummer boy was at preschool, MP and I went out to breakfast, did some Christmas shopping and actually had conversations without being interrupted! It was fabulous.

In the bathroom with Louis

we have some of our best chats. He's pooping (he likes the company) and his stream of consciousness conversations are some of MP's and my favorites.

Today he said, "Kim can't pregnant herself. No, she can't put herself inside her belly. Her belly is attached to her." I guess that's about as deep as it gets: humans cannot give birth to themselves. Figuratively, perhaps, but not literally!

We are enjoying our time together. Preschool is going very well. It's awesome!
