...and crazy work hours for Ben. There were only a few Ben sightings this last week since he's been busy at work for the World Bank/IMF Annual meetings this weekend. He finally packed a bag on Friday and has been staying at a hotel near his office. Amelia has been going crazy missing her dad and continually asking if his meeting is over yet. Every time she hears a noise outside, she races to the window to see if dad is coming home. Yesterday she brought her penguin to me and told me this long story about how the penguin was sad because his dad didn't come home. Sad. Thankfully my parents arrive tomorrow so someone else can show these girls some attention.
The last few days:
Hanging out at home.
A trip to the zoo.
Our weekly nature walk. This time we collected leaves and talked about seeds and spiders.
Conversation of the day:
Me: What letter does "mom" start with?
Amelia: M
Me: What letter does "Elsa" start with?
Amelia: H
Me: H? Are you sure?
Amelia: Yes, H...Helsa.
Has she really been calling her Helsa all this time?
Oh they are darling! And your pics make me jealous that you didn't get snow this weekend. Yes, snow.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should get out some puppets for a therapy session. I hear you have a killer puppet theater.
ReplyDeleteBen, I scrolled past that picture with Amelia on her little couch with two dolls, I thought, why does Amelia have Alice in Virginia? Then I looked at it a little closer and realized it was Elsa. She looks like a doll.
