pout
- We went for a nice walk in Mundy Park this afternoon. Lila and George, you really love getting out into nature. We brought some bubbles and they kept you entertained for a really long time.
- Lila, you wanted to go deeper into the forest, but George objected. He pouted for the rest of the time we were out. George, you have a great little pout. You always have.
- I am so relaxed these days. We're nearing the end of our two week spring break. It's the first time we have not gone anywhere or had company during a holiday. To be honest, I was dreading it. I like to be busy and doing things, but I've actually quite enjoyed the nothingness of our time. George and Lila, you play together...and fight a little from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep. Even after we put you to bed, we can still hear you talking and giggling together.
- I went to watch daddy play hockey tonight. I tried to talk one of you into joining me, but no dice. As I sat there, it reminded me of the good old days back in 100 Mile. And then it occurred to me, that one day soon (sooner than I expect, I'm sure), it will just be daddy and I again. Will I still go and watch him play in 20 more years? What will we be doing then? We most likely won't have any kids at home anymore. Will I be lonely? I didn't feel lonely sitting there watching him, but I also knew that I had a houseful of people to return to. It was an interesting thing to ponder.
