Wow, it's been a long time...
You should see how long it's been since I've written to the kids in their journals! Or gotten video tape of them doing anything. Time just creeps up on you like that. Especially when you work about 90-95 hours a week and sleep very little. I've GOT to find someone compitent to share this business stuff with me, because I'm going down in a handbasket soon if I don't. It was fun to go breakneck at first, but after 2 years straight... I just seriously didn't anticipate the growth spurts this business would have. I figured it would be rather steady, not jumping up (and sometimes down) so quickly.
But I still have tons of fun with the kids. Next week is Eva's birthday. I'm going to send a newsletter next week with an announcement and some sale (haven't decided yet) .
We planted all kinds of new plants in the front this weekend. I was digging my first hole, jumped up on the shovel, fell back right on a rock that twisted my foot out from under me and fell square on my butt. Hit so hard my teeth clamped together and I felt my brain hurt. Landed on my hand too and it's now bruised. Julian just looked at me stunned, like he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He didn't say anything. I said "How do you guys do that all the time!? That really hurts!" That broke him out of it and he started pouring out words as usual.
His note from daycare on the days he goes always say "Talkative" for how he felt that day. That's my Julian, just like Daddy. I used to tell Jay to just see if he could be quiet for 5 minutes. He would say "Hey, I haven't used up all my words for today." Somebody decided Julian gets a large allowance of daily words.
He and Eva have been incredibly cute lately. He's been very into imaginative play and she's been copying everything he does.
Last week they were playing with the baby dolls. Julian gave them a bath and got in with them because "You can't leave babies all by themselves in the bathtub, Mommy, or they could drown and then they would die." Then we got them out and I dried them off and asked what you do when you get the babies out of the tub. "Get them dressed and put them to bed." (We've got a pretty solid routine in our house)
So he spends great care in getting them dressed, then picks up his favorite, cradles it to his chest and walks over to the couch with it making slurping noises. I hear him saying very quietly "Ow! Baby, gentle please. That nipple's sore." (Who's he been listening to lately? Me, of course. The constant thrush battle Eva's entire 2 years after the double antibiotics in the hospital during her stay her 2nd week of life has made me very sensitive)
He finishes nursing it to sleep and puts it down. I asked him something and he whispers "Mommy, quietly, or you'll wake up my baby and I'll have to NURSE him AGAIN" and I try not to laugh and I say "Yeah, that's a real pain, huh, Bub?" He nods.
He gets up, goes and gets the other 2 babies and walks back to the couch with them. He says to me in a very excited voice "Mommy, I can nurse TWO babies!" and procedes to nurse both at the same time, with much slurping. He gets up on the couch, lays them on their backs, then lays on top of them to finish nursing them so they will go to sleep. lol
Then he gets up and says "I'm the Daddy now, and I have to go to work" and heads off to the play room. (It's Daddy's busy season and he's been working long days, which effects everyone, but especially Julian since he's always been Julian's favorite person in the whole world)
He is really the funniest kid.
