My Secret To Sanity


We have been soaking up the extra time that we now have in the evenings with our sweet friend Katie (aka KiKi)who loves to come over and entertain Amelia. She's only 10, but she has an amazing gift with kids. Amelia just freaks out every time she sees her (Katie lives in our building, so we run into her often). Katie, lately has been coming over for dinner, and helping out with the hussle and bussle of dinner-bath-PJ-brush teeth-story time. Little by little, Katie has taken on a bit more responsibility with getting Amelia ready for bed. She can confidently handle bath time,diapering, and getting her PJs on. It's been tremendous! I actually have laundry put up where it needs to be, and I can relax just a tad while Katie happily chases her naked little bottom all around the place!

Hey! I think of you guys all the time too and how much fun it would be to see Clayton and Amelia play together on a regular basis. I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys soon. We all love the brilliant "Whale eating Squid" painting. She clearly inherited her Aunt Sarah's artistic abilities. (ha!) Let us know when you're headed this way. Love you guys!
