I just love how peaceful children look when they are sleeping, especially after all the night time routine craziness with baths to take,teeth and gums to brush, books to read,pjs to be put on, cuddles and hugs to give out and then Ethan’s latest thing is to come up with crazy excuses why he shouldn’t go to bed yet. And after they’re both asleep and house in quiet and calm, I feel so relieved yet lonely without the boys…so I go and disturb their sleep by camera flashes.
Earlier in the day we went out for ice cream to make Ethan feel better. At his school he has Accelerated Reader program, where you get points for each book you read. Well this time around Ethan didn’t get the award even though he had the points what required a lot of reading this time around, because he was reading chapter books for the 9-12 age group that were valued only at 1.5 points each(he needs 15 points in 9 weeks and these chapter books took about week and a half each!!!), so we had to catch up by reading extra books to get the points. And after all that his teacher looses his reading log and without it she can’t prove that he has the needed points!!! So after all this hard work and no reward from school, it was our turn to make our bestest reader ever make feel better, so Baskin Robbins it was!
Are these pictures taken with your new camera? They look great! Good job on reading Ethan!
ReplyDeleteChildren and babies are so precious when they sleep!! I could probably sit and watch Benjamin sleep for hours!
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't believe how big Ethan is getting! It's been a long time since I've last seen him. That ice cream sure does look yummy!
