the latest solution

Lots to be done?  Kids in the way? 

Here's my most current remedy:  

1.  Ask the hubs to bring home throw-away plans.

2.  Tell boys this job site needs some "work".  

3.  Spread out the pages & bring out the crayons. 

4.  Enjoy *quiet concentration* on both sides.

 

Serious business. 

breakfast at my house

This is for my own memory purposes.  In case this phase ever ends.  Every.single.morning my boys wake me with requests?...nay, demands!..for "eggs & toast & circles".  Sometimes I try to shake it up with offers of pancakes or cereal or oatmeal.  No.  They want their eggs. 

And toast. 

And circles. 

So this is my stovetop each morning:

 

Aidan takes two.  Davyn takes one, with a side of anywhere from 2 to 4 scrambled eggs (once we counted 7).  Did I mention that he's only 2?  Yes, I'm building giants. 

     

A drinks water.  D much prefers milk.

When there's fruit on the side, A needs it on an entirely separate plate or bowl.  D doesn't so much mind the co-mingling of peach juice and egg yolk. 

Do you forget all of these detailed preference (demands!) when they are old & gone?  I imagine it all fades despite how insistent it seems NOW as they dominate my days.

But I'll record them {just in case}.  

folding lessons

  

Laundry folding went a {tiny} bit slower than usual today.
  These little arms love "jobs", but supplying such inevitably slows my own.

Or does it? 

After all...

what's laundry & dishes compared to these {tinies}?

and THAT is what I need to remember in the daily.
