The Hostess with the Mostest

Miriam and I are participating in a summer Co-Op with two other families. Basically we take turns watching each other kids, so the moms can get a break. We watch one Thursday and get 2 Thursdays off.

We've hosted twice now and it couldn't be more fun. Lily and Grace are both a little over two and a hoot together. They love that "Miss Cyndi" is really generous with the snacks. The first time they were so cool, just hanging on the couch while we had snacks. Today we had Popsicles and I was so impressed how they didn't get any on them. We had to change Miriam right away. Her white turtle shirt was orange by the end of snack time. Grace asked for her lunch at 9:30 and it was tough for me to explain why we couldn't eat lunch that early. I was hungry myself.

I try to do an activity for them. Last time it was really organized with stickers and coloring and finger painting. This time...not so much. We started to finger paint and all I could hear was, "My Turn." from each of them. Miriam is even saying it now? We made brownies instead and that was better. Both of the older ones helped me pour and stir. Miriam watched Elmo mainly and was probably glad that she had her toys to herself.


The first time we hosted, we had FOUR little girls with us. Mia Morgan was in town and came over to play. She took over as soon as she got there. She cracks me up the way she yells with excitement. Miriam has definitely taken that up from her slightly older cousin

Miriam again won't take a nap. Even with all the running and chasing and activity today, she won't nap. So, I made her play beauty shop with me. She has pigtails in for the first time and couldn't look more adorable. Why can't I find the camera?
