This morning, Noah and I received a last minute invitation to a production of the Jungle Book done by the Children's Theater & held at Kingsbury Hall. We enjoyed the play and were pleasantly suprised to see Noah's music & dance teacher from school in the play! Afterward, we ate slices of pizza at The Pie -- which is the best pizza in SLC in my opinion! We played a few games of pinball, and headed off to pick up his friend Ella & I delivered the two to a birthday party for a classmate at The Little Gym. We came home & this is how I found Noah about 10 minutes later...I also fell asleep, on the couch, and Nate crawled on me & snuggled in. This is a luxury -- getting to cuddle with one of the twins. It feels sad to say, but they rarely get that one on one time. If one jumps up, usually the other isn't far behind, and then Noah wants in too. That starts a fight and then they're all off & running. Even when they were babies, it was hard to get to hold just one twin since they were on the same schedule.
About a month ago, Nate started to ask if we could sit together & rock "cuddle me, mama!" and of course I said YES! He likes to get tickles then too... and for some reason wants me to sing the "meow meow" cat food song.
I picked up Hayden from bed one night when he woke up crying and walked to the chair & thought I'd hold him & rock him to sleep. He looked at me after about a minute and said, "put me in my bed". sigh. He'll come around.
Today, it was the 5th day of a stomach bug for the twins that has them wanting to be in mama's lap, but I'll take it.
