just a day
This is a little girl in our neighborhood who watches us but never smiles. At first it alarmed me when I would smile at children and they would stare back at me blankly. Now I'm used to it and not all children here do this and especially not if they know you. I like this girl. She is very comfortable in her own world, in her own company. I see her out swinging by herself all the time and she seems quite happy. In the summer she always wears handkerchiefs on her head. She is quiet, watchful and lovely. Today was the closest she has ever come to playing with us and Ian followed her around like a stray puppy. She seemed to like it:)
What? No nap? That's fine. We'll put you to work:)
Tired Boys. "I'm making room for Papa," Jack says after dinner and finding a cozy spot. They're old, snuggle buddies:)

It is cool that you can drive the little tractor to the sand box :) And I have the same rule - if you don't nap, you gotta help me accomplish the tasks that I was going to do during the nap. Yeah, right. :)
