Saturday

It's not really a quiet morning. The dishwasher is going, I can hear Caillou downstairs, and Joel is listening to coverage on the awesome Laker win. All good things, though, and we are having a very pleasant morning. Early, but good. I have two very early risers, and this morning they were both up by 6:15. I am usually up by that time, but I'm still recovering from four hours of sleep after staying up to watch the Laker victory on Thursday night. (Well worth it, by the way.) Anyway, I could hear Lily go in Jack's room; she loves bringing him toys when he wakes up. Joel changed Jack's diaper, and the two little buddies were off and running.

I love hearing their conversations, especially when they are playing. Lily said, "Let's play dominoes!" which to her means rolling dice or counting the dots. They both love the set of dice I gave them to use for counting. They love yelling "fluffy bunny", which comes from one of their Usborn books. I see them developing their own little world together, and it makes me very happy.

Last night Lily said she wanted another Jack, and then three Jacks and three Lilies. She likes the number three because she is three, and insists that she gets three stories (at least), or three toys, or three blankets, because she's three. Well, of course.
