This week I think we finally won the headlice battle (the last treatment tonight showed no lice, so fingers crossed), but I did learn all about eyelash lice in a most unpleasant way :( I will spare you the gory details. Carmie is mostly a sweetheart still. Jeffrey has started an exercise regime (Crossfit), and according to Carmie, that is good, because "All Dad does is sit around and read the newspaper. But you get lots of exercise, Mum!" (I don't think we have actually had a newspaper in our house since Carmie was born!). Carmie is getting a little scared about dying and it makes her worry and cry at bed time some nights. In the day time she is just worried about when we are going to take the iPads away for good, which is hopefully going to happen when the weather gets a bit warmer and my studio is finished so that we can lock up the back yard. Arley is still a terror, except for today when he was an angel. This week at school they broke out these wooden train tracks, and Arley had so much fun with them that when I went to collect him, he didn't want to leave, he just said, "Bye bye Mum", and then screamed and cried and kicked when I picked him up. We ended up buying him the same tracks for his bedroom, as I will pretty much do anything at this point to get him off the iPad and doing something creative. He is so happy with his new tracks, so the plan is working, so far. He made me a little sad this week, as he was sitting on my lap looking at photos from this blog with me, and he saw a photo of himself and Carmie in the old playroom, and he said, "Home! Go car? Go home? Go car?" I think he thinks we are on some kind of surreal vacation, one in which we take every single belonging with us!
It was Father's Day this past Sunday, so we had Lolo and Dida over for lunch. Carmie made her Dad and her Dida a card each, and wants to make one for Opa, Pop and Grandpa Clark too. She is into drawing the people in her life now, and I am loving her drawings. They really put a smile on my face :)
