These girls!!!

So, Grant is not feeling so well yesterday and today and I have been taking his temperature. Emma is very interested in the thermometer (a rectal one). She just came into the room and was holding the thermometer up to Noah's bum. Yup- Noah the Prophet- the Little People version. She had even turned it on and held it there until it beeped. Oh my goodness.

Sometime I would love to be a spectator of my life. You know, a fly on the wall just watching it all instead of an active participant. It must be something to see a Mom trying to take the temperature of her 8 month old with a 2 year old climbing on her back and a 3, almost 4 year old, wanting to take the temperature herself. Then I try and give him Tylenol and Emma insists on doing it and Arianna is now climbing on my head practically kicking Grant in the face. I measured the dose, of course, but Emma did pretty well squirting it into his mouth.

These girls are something, I tell you!

Another place I would love to be a fly on the wall is in my girls' bedroom after we shut the door and say goodnight. What do they talk about? What do they DO? Last night they took about 1/2 hour to go to sleep. And this morning I woke up at 5:45 am and realized both girls were out in the family room already playing. I didn't hear them get up. I made them go back to bed restating the 6 am rule to Emma. (She has a digital clock in her room) There was actually minimal crying and I went back to bed and woke up next at 6:20 and they were back out playing- had gotten themselves dressed and all. (Did they ever go back to sleep? Probably not.) At least I got to!
