Sisterly bonding and Anthony's extra credit


The girls have been bonding again.....In the mornings I can hear them giggling in their room. Saturday Emily kept telling Aubrey that she had to take her back to the man village. (Jungle Book is her new favorite movie)  Then I heard her say,  "Baby you're going to the doctors. You're gonna get a shot.  It's ok sweetheart. I'll keep you safe." When I went to check on them, Emily was in the crib with Aubrey again......  Then at bedtime I heard them growling at each other and laughing when they were supposed to be sleeping.  I think Emily is getting sick.  She wouldn't sleep in her bed last night and she said her throat hurts.  Now she has a runny nose.  He body was hot but she didn't have a temperature. I should have thought about giving the girls their own room because when one of them is sick and won't go to bed, neither of them will go to bed.  Emily slept with Daddy and when I had him put her back in her bed, she woke up and cried and then woke the baby. So guess who slept at the bottom of the bed.  Yep, just like the family dog, Mommy slept at the bottom.  Boy did I wake up stiff and sore this morning. 

It took three nights to help Anthony finish his Social Studies extra credit assignment.  He's very proud of it.  The assignment was to make a 3d Indian village of your choice of location.  He decided on the Central Plains.  I think he just thinks the idea of an Earth lounge is cool, because he really wanted one in his village.  I probably helped (mostly with the ideas) more than I should have.  But it was fun.  I was never interested in school or a good student like Anthony so it's exciting for me that he's so into learning.  He told me from the beginning he wanted to do this for extra credit, which I find amazing because he has all A's so far.  I'm so proud of him for working so hard in school and on this project.
