Monday Morning

On Monday the kids didn't have day care but J and I both had work. I arranged with my father-in-law to have him keep an eye on the kids while I worked for a 3-4 hour stretch, but I had the kids to myself in the morning after J left.

The older RUS gets, the better they play together. Of course there is still the requisite fighting, but here are two things they did together that morning.

First, R put RUS to bed and read him a night night story, at 8 a.m.! He loved this. She is reading him Princess Baby.

Then, a little later RUS wanted to read more stories, so he asked R to read him this book about dinosaurs. This is one of those cases where I really wished J was around to tell me what she was actually "reading" to him. But they occupied themselves for easily 10-15 minutes looking at this book. It's wonderful when they are so sweet to one another. Please, please let this stage last forever.
