Our basement has one of those tent contraptions that have 2 little tents and a tunnel in between them.\u00a0 Something I would have loved as a child, but of course we had a whole farm as our playground which our kids would probably prefer.\u00a0 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Last weekend Anya discovered this thrilling toy and Kai discovered that his sister can be fun to play with.\u00a0 She saw Kai go in the tent and quickly crawled after him.\u00a0 Then they proceeded to crawl through the tunnel after each other, squealing in delight, and only occassionally running over each other.<\/font><\/p>\n

To be so innocent again, where a simple game brings out such happy sounds.\u00a0 A child\u2019s laugh in delight can make the dimmest of days bright, especially when they are your children.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u2026And then<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

There are days like yesterday.\u00a0 Brian went out of town for work on Wednesday morning, so it was just the kids and I last night.\u00a0 Kai again decided that he did not want to eat — the chocolate milk and piece of cheese were apparently sustenance enough.\u00a0 This is a little better than just \u201cair\u201d, but still I would like him to fill that belly a little.\u00a0 I cut up one measly ravioli and told him he had to eat that or \u201cNo going outside\u201d.\u00a0 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Simple enough — shouldn\u2019t be a problem, right?<\/font><\/p>\n

This child LOVES to go outside, and moreso now that he has his little tricycle.\u00a0 I thought for sure that he could be conned into eating.\u00a0 No way, sir!\u00a0 So, then I had to stick to my guns.\u00a0 No going outside.\u00a0 <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I\u00a0honestly think it was more painful for me, since the rest of the night was Kai throwing one fit after another.\u00a0 By the end of the night after I got him and his sister in bed (who was throwing her own fits because of her brother), I was really, really\u2026really ready for a beer.\u00a0 That Harp went down pretty darn good.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
