Baby wanted to take her pic with R. R didn’t like her arm around him. He resisted. After the pics were taken, baby kept asking me to show her the pic where she put her arm around her brother. She likes her brothers. She feels more active when the brothers are home.

R&M haven’t been playing piano for the last 4 months ( which for their age is a lot of time). We stopped before our gigantic ( should never attempt again) trip. We started back in May but didn’t get the groove back until last week. It was a struggle to get back. The teacher is repeating the lessons again. Finally, last week, I made sure they practiced every day. By today, they didn’t even resist. In fact, they enjoyed playing. R taught his sister how to do it .. and M played some extra pieces.

There is something to be said about discipline… structure/routine and practice. This summer D and I are training ourselves for the upcoming school year. We need to take boys to one school and baby to the other. we need to have a real good routine worked out to make it work. Unfortunately, neither D nor I are good at sticking to a routine.

Right now, I am looking for healthy breakfasts from around the world. Foods that have been there for 1000 years. I don’t want to give them bread or cereal. Should look deeper.

Not a lot was done this week and I am kind bummed about that. I should be more organized. R is getting better. Today he went to school and then he took an afternoon nap. I tried to make M write numbers but he resisted. Then he and I played a pattern game while baby was drawing.

Yesterday afternoon K dropped by and while I was holding R, she read a book to the other kiddies. Baby fell asleep soon after than as if she was drugged.
