The big kids have been in school for a full week now. Moreover, for a full week it has just been me and Adell at home during the day. So far, our days have gone exactly as I expected. Adell misses her older siblings very much and follows me around like a shadow, demanding I play with her. We dance, we play baby-doll, we take little walks outside, we build with blocks, I eat a lot of plastic-play food and I draw a lot of "happy face" pictures for Adell. I have not had a shower without Adell all week. I love her and we are having a good time--but our family has not eaten a proper dinner since school started. Adell wont let me sit down to write a grocery list--forget about standing in the kitchen to prep and make a meal.
Just now she walked up to me singing (to the tune of "Twinkle, twinkle little star") "Momma, Momma open diss. Momma, Momma open diss." holding a marker. Now I have to go draw some more "happy faces".
