hit the reset button

day was a good day. my own need for routine has been a blessing to the boys who woke up today at 6:45 am (boo) and were able to hit the reset button from yesterday's craziness.  We did our morning routine* just like they expected it to be from all the other mornings they have woken up here.  There did not seem to be any after affect of yesterday lingering at all.

I almost didn't know what to write since upon reflection of the day it seemed that nothing earth shattering happened to me today.  No life-altering court date or crazy ride into the big city etc. however being kissed and sung to and cuddled and tackled hugged and depended upon and asked for help putting pants, shoes and socks on and being a pretend monster or baby or the voice of a toy the boys were playing with and asked for help "fumba chapaties" [which is what they call playing with playdough. it means making pancakes] by two sweet, funny, amazing, adorable little babies is pretty significant after all. 
we learned to sing head and shoulders knees and toes today. they liked that a lot.  I really wish we had booster seats here. the boys do not do well on the floor on a mat bc they are not contained and they do not do well at the table bc they are too short...

Benny woke up from nap crying and was a grumpy-rump all afternoon. (Norm will remember that little boy very well from last visit.)  Everything made him pout and cry, it seemed.  But we still had a great day and he was very ready for bed.  You just put him in his bed and he lays down and gets his blanket over his head and he is done for the night. He does the same thing at nap time.
we watched the video of Daddy playing guitar with the boys after nap today. They liked that a lot and were chattering constantly and pointing at the screen. They seemed to be remembering that day as they watched.
