Random Thoughts Thursday

1. It is fairly early in the morning and all my babies are sleeping, except Little Prince who enjoys early mornings with mommy.  I don't really mind.  I am tired and bleary-eyed and only slightly functional, but he is sweet and cuddly and I know how quickly this passes.  So we cuddle and I sip coffee and plan my day.  
2. Today we have a homeschooling event at the local library which should be fun and there is another one tomorrow. 
3. This is a busy day in our house with everyone having many places to go.  I don't enjoy days like that.  I enjoy that we can plan our days as homeschoolers and that most days we are not all running around to get out of the house.
4. Little Prince's crib is in the corner of our living room.  It has been since we moved into this house.  It is getting to be a problem because he is getting sensitive to sound and so while he is sleeping, I can't wash dishes, clean the house, walk around the living room or even talk normally.  Essentially, his afternoon nap (which happens when the little girls are napping too) consists of me tip-toeing around and  shushing everyone, so that he doesn't wake up and start screaming again.  Poor little guy.  We need a house with a room for him.
5. I watched a movie yesterday while Little Prince was sleeping.  It is called, "A Family Thanksgiving" and it reminded me how lucky I am in my life to have the people around me to love.
6. It also reminded me about all the family Christmas movies and how much I look forward to them every year. 
7. The neighborhood kids were outside giving Princess Belle a hard time again yesterday.  They were giving her rules for if she played with them.  They were telling her how to stand, what to say, how to walk and what to do and basically making her feel bad about herself.
8. The tooth fairy paid her a visit last night and left her a note and a toothbrush.
