Green Eyed Goddess

This has been a difficult week for A but a fun week for G.  A has acutely felt that she is not always the center of attention and has done a few things to bring all eyes back on her. Overall though she has borne it well and is getting better at it.  We read a color book on emotions (it seems there are several out these days) and discussed the green one a little bit and how we can be happy for other people. Realistically she has done remarkably well and will do better as more and more things like this happen. 

G has turned 2 and had a good week.  We had a few presents for him on his birthday and did a leaf jumping fun party yesterday.  We had half a dozen kids come and play over lunch.  We have leaves (in case you've missed the earlier posts) and yet again I was able to brush up quite the pile of leaves for kids to jump into.  We moved it slightly to be where the kids could roll/jump/slide from our neighbors into it. 

Here are some of the fun pictures:

As you can gather gifts with wheels and things that can be put together were the biggest hit. It was also Batman themed as G loves Batman.  It is super cute when he runs around in his batman robe saying "I Batman" after his bath.

It is time for me to go read some before I get some sleep and start another busy week.  Hopefully we get the snow that A keeps asking about.
