Meanwhile, James seems to be going through some sort of phase. Mom thinks he's discovering that he's capable of doing way more than he realized. I don't know about that, but he's definitely doing something - he seems sometimes to have hit the terrible twos at one. Sometimes he just screams and screams unless he's being held. This would be hard enough with one baby and is really not feasible for one adult with twins. So sometimes he just has to scream. This is fun, let me tell you. And after a couple of nights of going to bed at a reasonable hour, he's back to going to bed late - 11:15 the last two nights. Although, he did sleep through the night until a little after 9 this morning, so that was pretty fabulous, even if he did get a late start.
One last thing - I voted early today. It took me maybe ten minutes, start to finish! Of course, part of this is that I live in the boonies, but it was still much, much better than voting on election day, I would guess. And the beauty of voting early is that, if you do happen to go somewhere with a long line, you can leave and choose a better time or place - it's not like election day, when you don't have that option. So get out there and vote!
Ride that pumpkin, Jamesie! |
Bobby is unsure about the headband. |
Bobby is more interested in eating grass and sticks than in the pumpkins. |
