Phew! Being a mommy of two is not easy work! Lydia's going through a growth spurt right now which means I'm constantly feeding and holding her. She generally dozens seem like a happy baby-- she has a perpetual grimace on her face. I hope and pray she'll get over this soon because I'm ready to enjoy her.
Lucy is going through the normal adjustment phase with a little attitude and rebellion. Yesterday we switched over to a reward system featuring marbles in a jar. Obedience rewards her with a marble, disobedience gets a marble taken away. When her jar is full, we told her she could go to Walmart to pick out a toy. She's very excited about that aspect and SO FAR it's bees a good system. We had one little issue this morning over breakfast but other than that she's been the model child today, which is REALLY good considering her sister is making me want to pull my hair out.
This weekend should be nice though because many friends are coming to town to celebrate Adams thirtieth birthday which means there will be many hands to hold Lydia and entertain Lucy.
Letters home... where ever that may be.
I knew you forever and you were always old, soft white lady of my heart. Surely you would scold me for sitting up late, reading your letters...
~Anne Sexton (1928–1974), U.S. poet. "Some Foreign Letters."
