This is very unpleasant for daddy as he is achy and bedridden. This is very unpleasant for mommy because she has 3 kids on her own. So what do we do? We watch TV. Lalaloopsy was good. Clever characters. Caillou was bad. Any show with a mom doing downward dog is just going to be about first world problems.

Mommy, EV, and NÉ are squeezed on a twin bed in AE’s room: the Nest. I think this violates every SIDS guideline. Just praying G is in control :). EV is annoyed by NÉ’s grunting and is whimpering in her sleep. Thank goodness AE didn’t insist on joining in. She cleaned the house while I was putting EV down. Feeling blessed. I told her I would take her for an ice cream tomorrow.

Went to Gl’s 10/1 gathering. So many people! NÉ slept through most of it. Panic I think. EV was clingy. At one point she plugged her ears. I think she was overwhelmed by the crowds. Thank goodness for Ayi’s help. A lot of friendly faces of people I don’t know too well but wouldn’t mind getting to know except I’m too exhausted these days. I think S was happy to have the house to himself. AE went to YY’s house to play afterwards. She came back with a lot of random odd shaped half-deflated balloons and various candies. Uh, and a rose tattoo. She was super happy.

Oh! There goes AE for her 3am bathroom break!
