So what's for dinner today kids? Earlier they had spaghetti, looks like bead tea now though.
Nathan and Melanie played really well together all morning, with the exception of that one important time when I was tied up and couldn't help them--so they, obviously, had to beat each other up and call for help then. Matthew would come up to join occasionally, but when I wasn't within sight Nathan would say "no no Matthew" and he'd leave crying.
As usual Nathan does almost all of the talking, organizing, and bossing around. Melanie mostly just listens...until she gets fed up...and then eventually there is a fight. But they WERE happy together for over an hour. Pretty impressive!
Melanie and Nathan and the Super Dooper Noisy Crash
"Mommy come see what we're doing downstairs!!"
Nathan shoves the basket up while Melanie acts the part of some sort of cooperative uselessness on the other side.
Dump. (accompanied by lots of hyper laughter from both of them)
Some manual dumping was required for the last box. (Kind of spoiled the climax for me a little. ;) )
Wasn't that so funny?
Matthew the Left-Behind Neglected Child
Impatiently waiting for me at the top of the stairs is the odd one out. Too little to go down by himself. Too intrusive to be welcomed by the older two. Poor Matthew.
At least Mommy feels sorry for you.
But what mother wouldn't seeing their baby waiting for them piteously moaning "maamaamaa maa".
After all he just said
MOMMY!!!!!
Didn't he?
