They're happy, they're sad, they're angry, they're tired, . . . all the feelings

Peter and Fredaric

Frenemies. That's what they are. They are friends and enemies. Frenemies. They love to hate each other and love to love each other. Today they were at each other's throats. There was a lot of fighting with the iPad and Kindle Fire. On a positive note, they played well at Paige Ricks' home. She has a baby girl Daphne's age and a boy, Benjamin, about Fred's age, or a little older. Paige elaborated that they were so good, she was able to get things done! Imagine that.

Fred was my little monster and made sure that the laundry was unfolded. Fred and I snuggled a bit today which was sweet. Peter was tender with Fred and offered him a boost onto the taller piano bench and Fred struggled to climb up.

Daphne is my smiley, happy girl and charmed everyone she came in contact with today. At the doctor's office, she bewitched a little old lady and the working nurses. She loves to smile and loves to see others smile. While she is super pleasant and agreeable, she is seems to be either super tired, super hungry or in super pain for a good portion of the day. She has been pretty fussy during stretches at night and periodically during the day.

The sounds of fighting, crying, screaming happy and screaming anger are regular noises that fill our home. I contribute to this as do the children. It was a good day, though not my best parenting. I love my littles. They are my world.
