Nap time is less than relaxing and productive since Olive has decided to pretty much stop taking them. Mostly now they involve her playing (loudly) in her room, going on adventures into the hall, and me coming up out of the basement to chase her back to bed. After nap time, or quiet time, or whatever it's become, we usually try to do something creative together...
Abby covered a rock with stickers today to make a Christmas gift, while I drew in the sketchbook.
Abby: "Who are you making, dad?"
Me: "It's you."
Abby: "Awww...Look at my pretty head! Can you draw my clothes like I'm wearing too?"
Meanwhile, Olive played out a story of drama, suspense and action using her hands as characters. One would "fall" off her cup, and the other would "save" it.
The days leading up to a craft show are a flurry of activity, as we rush to finish projects that we've been putting off. So I stayed up until 5:30 in the morning on Friday working on things for the Artropy Art and Craft Show on Saturday...As a result, I only got an hour of sleep. I may not remember this conversation with the Ladies from Good. Clean. Soap. totally accuratly. I still thought it was a funny story, though. :)
Abby drew this picture of Amy today. It's always a little amazing to me which details are important to kids. She added the three scars from Amy's gall bladder surgery, but nothing else. That's all she needed to know who it was.
