slut & loppu

Vacation is more work than work. According to Wax. We've had one of those weeks with Expeditions every day with no days off in between to recover, until now. We're going to jealously guard our weekend before we take Lily to the vet Monday.




Yesterday involved babysitting Carmela and Ciara, and that was a lot of work. Especially because Carmela is four. And she talks constantly. And she never entertains herself. And she doesn't get tired of running around even though it's hot and sunny. It's "Cim, come and wade through waist-high weeds to pluck flowers and wild strawberries with me" and "I don't dare walk over there barefoot! Carry me!" and "Now draw another princess and a prince and a trampoline, and a palace, and a friendly dragon, and a nice queen and king, and write what they're doing there. And then write that the prince and the princess went for a walk in the forest to pick flowers and the queen said... ."

I doubt they're much more alike than your average small children are - following people around and asking questions goes with the territory. Carmela is very sensitive and a bit shy with strange adults. She follows around the people who show the most friendliness and interest to her. She asks me to draw a lot because I originally sat her down and invited her to draw with me.
