Those kids of mine


Could this poor tired weary mother really expect some relaxation time when there are conscious children in the vicinity? What unrealistic expectations she must have.

Play is hard work for Nathan. He spends a lot of time trying out technical things. The other day he tied our smallest toy box up with his bead string on both ends and carted it around.

It's ever so frustrating for him when the other two interfere when he's concentrating on something particular. (I wonder if perhaps he should be able to empathize with me a little now and give me some peace. ;) )

He'd be frozen most of his life I guess. :o
