This week has been fairly good, albeit with some rather annoying and lengthy night wakings, thanks to Arley. He will cry out for me at night, and when I ask him if he needs to go to the toilet he says, "No thank you," and then I tuck him in and tell him to go back to sleep, and he turns to me with a pained expression and starts to whimper. He won't tell me what he wants, he just won't let me leave. And if I do leave, then he starts to cry. So I have to stay there in the freezing cold and pat him. It's only for about five minutes, but that is enough to wake me up completely, and I'm done for. It's getting very old, very fast!
This past weekend Carmie had a playdate at her friend Alice's house. She is getting so grown up, spending time at friends' houses. When I went to pick her up she asked me if I could take her over to her friend Vanessa's house! Instead we took the kids down to the rock pools at Narrawallee. They love it down there, and it is an enjoyable way to pass the time. We also had trips to the park, and the kids had a day at home with their dad while I was in the gallery.
We broke out the X-Box for the kids so they could play Dora Dance Party, and Kinectimals. They are hooked, and it is SO cute to see them play. Carmie's rhythm (or lack of it!!) is getting better, and Arley just follows on when he can. Speaking of Arley, he said to me tonight, "Mum, you're a pain in the butt!". I think he has that backwards!
Here is a video of them playing Dora Dance:
