167 + 63 Weeks

Despite Arley coming down with roseola this week (will it never end???), we have had a good week. The weather has been lovely, we have had lots of outside time, and the kids have mostly been angels. Very clingy angels.  Arley wants to be in my arms at all times and follows me everywhere.  Carmie is generally good about it.  However, when one starts crying, they both start crying, so it can get very stressful.  But they are playing together more and more.  Carmie is actually starting to ask when Arley is getting up from his naps because she wants to play with him.  These are words I have been wanting to hear for months!  I can't wait unit Arley is talking (all he will say is neigh neigh, quack quack and raaaaahhh), and can ride the little trikes around with her.  They love to jump on the bed and the couches together, but when Carmie is trying build anything or play with anything, Arley goes into destructor mode and tears everything apart.  And outside time definitely helps their energy levels.  We made it to the Commercial again (it is rather amusing to hear Carmen ask to go to the pub), and to the park, and we also spent some time at the farm.  Thank God the grandparents are back and can get to babysitting again!
