June 19-20
Father’s Day is over, so now it is time for our move into Independence Day studies. The kids really did not know much about… of course me either. We had Sean asleep on the couch in the basement and Nana and Baba doing their thing in the kitchen as they are suddenly close to their next Mexico vacation (2 weeks). So our location of choice for our half day of learning – the sunroom. Luckily if you go in in the morning the room is not too warm, we opened the windows and turned on the ceiling fan and enjoyed the morning sun.
We have a few books to read, some handouts and all. The twins are each doing their own little lapbook and then Emanuel and Trinity are combining all of their as well as the joint stuff from the twins in a third. This is our first with any sort of individual books in a while.
In the meantime Echo ran rings around us in her party dress of the day.
Which was also the party dress for the next day!
With schooling in the same place.
The boys took a break and watched Animal Planet with Uncle Sean…
And then the main event… babysitting Lily Bean for a few hours that afternoon! Sick kid at the sitters so we lucked out with our own bonus baby.
Echo was rather put out that she woke up to ONLY baby and not Aunty Bree. It did take me a bit to realize that the main reason Lily didn’t want to settle and eat was that the house is rather chilly with the A/C on… easy solution… go to the sunroom!
And then naps until Aunty Bree came to pick up Lily!
Trinity was over the moon with the entire situation, except the bottle feeding which required a special nipple to mimic breastfeeding and demanded a specific angle to latch.
And then before they left… we attempted the ROLL! ATTEMPTED.
Babies make every day BETTER! Especially our bonus borrowed gem Lily Bean! Thanks again Scott and Bree!
