Teddy keeps waking up around 4am. MJ is so great about dealing with it.
Nighttime routine is now all eat dinner together, bathe all kiddos together then read Scottie and Nelly books then Charlie and Teddy books. Then put Teddy back in his bed about 20 times.
Today I asked Charlie to go upstairs to check on Teddy. First he said “he’s fine. He’s with Ida.” Then he said “I will go see him. ” I can’t believe Charlie at 4 is helping me watch the other kids. He really likes helping and is excellent keeping and eye on the babies so they don’t eat Lego.
Scottie really likes us to play a game we made up with her where she takes a toy and hands it to me and I hand it to MJ and he hands it to Nell and she passes it to Scottie.
Scottie and Nelly trying to feed one another is beyond. When Nell saw that Scottie had no more Cheerios and wanted more she have her some of hers. Generosity so young.
ALB: “Daddy and I are going on a trip this weekend and the babies are coming with us but you are staying here to have fun doing…”
Charlie: “Just the babies are going with you?”
ALB:” Yes, well they are babies and so …”
Charlie: “I know. It’s because they need to learn about the world.”
