Day Five Home

Day of the meltdowns.  So much crying.

• collision on bikes
• collision on bike with a trash barrel (it was trash day so it was inconveniently on the sidewalk)
• crying when Sam figured out his birthday party might not happen as scheduled
• crying when they rough- housed
• crying when Sam gave Vivian an ice pack instead of Lanie giving Vivian an ice pack
• crying about schoolwork
• I did not cry, but maybe I should have

Highlights of the day was a surprise birthday/art supply delivery from a family friend, a surprise wine delivery from my friend, and Lanie and Vivian riding around the block and Lanie realized the seat on her balance bike had been raised.

Lanie: "Vivian, did you notice I am bigger and stronger because I ate all my vegetables?"

Vivian: "Yes, Lanie, you are bigger and stronger."

Lanie: "Yes, and a little bit faster."

Vivian: "Yup."

Lanie: "I am bigger and stronger and braver. I am a little bit braver."

Vivian: "that's called a growth sprout Lanie."
