Getting your Christmas Craft on
I may have one or two little crafters in the making.
The girls joined in the crafting fun at our annual December Book Group cookie-exchange-&-decoration-decorating party.
Their attitudes about the whole thing differed slightly.
"Crafting is serious business. You're interrupting greatness."
"Crafting is a hoot & a half! Let's see how much glue we can use for each rhinestone. Whoopee!"
Something to remember: Just because craft paint dissolves in water today doesn't mean it will come out of that striped shirt in the wash tomorrow.
I have a mental block on the issue of time when it comes to laundry. It is unfortunate.

The little delights of bedtime
Scene: Bedtime, lights out, turtle star light on, mommy in crib lying next to Eleni (the bars at the foot of the crib have been removed since the girls are now 3). Mommy has just finished singing "The fishy song" to Eleni (see previous post).
Eleni: Mommy, will you snuggle me for a few minutes.
Mommy: Sure
*Mommy wraps arm around Eleni*
Eleni: MOMMY, DON'T TOUCH ME!
Mommy: Um, how am I supposed to snuggle you if I can't touch you.
*pause*
Eleni: Well, you can touch my head, you can touch my head.
*Mommy begins gently stroking Eleni's hair*
Eleni: MOMMY, STOP TOUCHING ME!
Mommy: Um, you said I could touch your head.
*pause*
Eleni: You can touch it like this. *demonstrates* But no petting. Don't pet me.
Mommy: Like this? *puts hand gently on head*
Eleni: Yes
Mommy: *muttering* Good grief.
Eleni: MOMMY, STOP TALKING!
