Sunshine

Oscar, 2016

Well, I'm not ready to do a victory lap yet (and I couldn't run one anyway, because I stubbed my foot on a cat scratching post and broke my pinky toe yesterday) but so far the boys and I have survived five days without Will, who is in Tokyo on an adventure.

He's back in a few days and I will be very glad, but it's been interesting managing the evenings, mornings, and much of the weekend solo.

We had a new sitter come for a few hours yesterday. She has a degree in early childhood education and twelve years of experience as a nanny. She was with us for three hours and the boys were going a little wild. It wasn't long before she said, "Um, you have your hands full."

I have a feeling she might not come back. Was it the biting or the projectile playdough balls? Or feeding Ozzy bites of pasta as he zoomed around the living room on a balance bike?

Anyway, at least they didn't tie her (or me) to a chair.
