Cookies

Yesterday we mixed up some cookies with Grandma. Karina enjoyed herself, she tasted at every stage in the mixing as well as whenever no one was looking.
Yummy oatmeal cookies!

Sleeping Struggles

How could I be so horrible? After 30 minutes of rocking and nursing after reading and cuddling, I put the sleeping Rina in her crib. She woke up upon impact with the mattress gentle as it may have been. I patted and tried soothing her from outside of the crib bit of course it didn't work. Daddy tried: also unsuccessful. Jr woke up from all of the crying which had become screaming. Now do not feel bad for her. She is more than loved, I pretty much do the bidding of a 1 year old on a daily basis. Even now she is in my arms, back in the rocking chair, exactly where she wanted to be the entire time. Tonight I was just tired though. I thought maybe she would just fall back asleep. When she didn't I felt picking her up and beginning all over would be surrender of sorts, to a baby. But now I see how stupid that thought was because I eventually did get her out and could have saved another 30 minutes by picking her up in the first place. Oh well, tomorrow is another night. Goodnight, Karina my little love, see you around 3 am.

Chilly walk

We took a walk around the neighborhood today. The weather changed overnight, so the shorts we wore yesterday were far from appropriate today. It was cold! So the kids put on their jackets and we took a walk. they both wanted to sit in the stroller, so I made them share. They thought it was fun for a while, but Rina tried to get out so we stopped. I thought she wanted to walk but as soon as she got out she began trying to drag Jr out of the stroller. Being the dramatic darling that she is, she got angry when I told her no and ran off crying. Jr got out on his own, Rina got back in, and we finished our walk. Man, I knew I should have bought a double stroller.
