Today I gave Peter a HUGE gift. I brought him to the Village Play Place in Arlington Heights. He LOVES this place. It makes him SO happy to go there. We haven't been since Spring and he asks all of the time. He ran in the door, bellied up for his hand stamp and booked in to the fake grocery store. I love seeing anyone this happy. He had strawberry milk and fruit snacks for snack. He LOVED it. He made friends. He lights up a room for sure. I won big mama points today.
Maeve is off to a great start w/ her viola. She is taking it very seriously. And yesterday even made up a song. She brought the music stand into the kitchen to play for me. She named is "My sister lily" and the notes were "hi, medium and low". How funny. When I tried to make up words to go along w/ the tune, she shook me off quickly. This was her gig.
Lily is a master at many things...one thing is getting stuff done. She comes in - mostly unhappy about something that happened on the way home but then gets to business. She cranks out the homework and chores (w/ some complaining for sure) all in the name of 2 things - a show and the chance to roller blade.
So each day we have tears at some point. For one reason or another, each Nicoll sans Rob, cries every day. But I would say we make out okay on the other end. Just an emotional bunch I suppose.
