Adelaide's First Day Home

With two older brothers, Addie's first day home had quite a few things worth reporting:

* Jack comparing Addie to an airplane in the sky because of how little she is. Although we had to point out that she was little even when she wasn't far away. He is very obsessed with airplanes right now.

* Both boys attacking her with balloons from McDonalds. Literally she had like five balloons being waved in her face at one point with Jack exclaiming 'she likes it!'.

* Theo constantly laughing and pointing every time he saw her. He seems quite taken with her, for at least the time being.

* Theo bringing a balloon on a stick to her periodically throughout the day and then very confused and frustrated on why she wouldn't grasp onto the stick. This is an act of love in Theo's book because balloons are one his most favourite things. Apparently after I went up to rest these acts of kindness on Theo's part continued with him trying to hand her the microphone when she was in the playroom with them listening to Colin Buchanan.

* Theo and Jack both trying to bounce her bouncy chair (we have a cheap one with no vibrator so we often just bounce it softly with our hand or foot). Let me just say that she will always have her strap on when in that seat because the boys bouncing was not always the most gentle.

* Theo pushing her in her bouncy chair around the kitchen. Theo quickly realized that her bouncy chair was the perfect height for him to push (similar to a push cart or trolley) so she has been pushed all around the kitchen - again reason for the strap becomes most apparent.

All three are now in bed and quiet - I consider it a small parenting triumph, but I am not naive enough to think it will last so I am off to rest myself!
