Recen weeks have been tough. The girls both got colds a couple weeks ago and they have had a lingering cough since. Clara decided to go on a near hunger strike (she weighed less at a doctor visit than she had a couple months ago, not that she was big to begin with), and Janny refuses to sleep through the night. Last night we tried white noise (large fan) to no avail.
But you know what? I'm happy. During normal waking hours, the girls are super fun to play with. That takes some of the sting off middle of the night feedings. I still have a job, and I have a wife that loves me. And my health (except for a cold that won't go away because I don't get to sleep enough) is good.
Clara says funny (to me) things all the time, like 'Don't do that, baby [to Janny]', and 'Oh pretty', when she gets something she wants (like a chocolate).
Janny is crawling around the house and now pulls herself to stand. Clara is her hero.
Clara loves to play with the nativity figures. Here they are in a boat on a soapy lake.
Did I mention that Janny is crawling everywhere?
Another semester has blown by. Our super thoughtful students gave us a hot water holder machine. so come over for tea any time.
We read Curious George rides a bike 5 times yesterday. Clara cried the first time she saw George crash the bike. Sweetheart! I don't want to give too much away here, but Bob is able to true the wheel and fix the flat (things that Daddy can do also).
Speaking of biking, I'm riding just a little. I rode in the grass and mud with Tom last Sunday. Today, I took a short ride in the dark and saw another cyclist coming the other way. In the dark in mid December, 2 riders were out there living the life. The others all smartly rode in the morning.
