The Sixth Sense


Do children have a sixth sense? Kallan does. She is talented! Tonight she went to bed early after refusing her late afternoon nap. So for a rare but nice treat Mike and I could have dinner without Kallan screaming at us to pick up the bowl she has thrown on the ground for the 10th time. The evening goes a little something like this: Mike gives Kallan a bath, puts on jammies, and reads her a book (or three). Enter mommy: nurse Kallan to sleep. 10 minutes later we are all in a happy place. I finish making dinner and get it onto a plate, just as I pull out my chair to sit in it and enjoy this dinner (here comes the sixth sense, the "mommy must be sitting down to dinner" sense), Kallan communicates through the monitor that she needs me... NOW! So 10 minutes later back downstairs to my now cold dinner and Mike is done. On the bright side.... I didn't have to pick up any bowls off the floor!

My mom came up today to see us, we went out to lunch and to Joanns Fabric store. Looks like we found the guy to do our patio, we are looking forward to getting a start on the backyard.

4 days till grandpa Dabbert comes! We can't wait!
