On Friday I felt in a celebratory mood, and so after school I took all of the kids to The Museum of Natural Curiosity. They are the perfect ages for this museum, and they all had so much fun. Ammon and Lydia did the ropes course together while Mary stayed close to Clarissa and me. She loves Clarissa so much and always tries to help take care of her whenever she gets a chance.
Clarissa was a wonderful sharer in the baby section. At one point, she leaned down and picked up a ball that another girl had dropped. I thought she was going to keep it and that there would be crying, but instead Clarissa stood up and handed it right back to the girl who had dropped her ball. That made me so happy.
In the evening we ate the beef and barley soup I made on Thursday, and we inspected our new basement floors. They looks so great! It makes me want to do something special with the space.
Then Lydia and I left for her harp lesson. She needed to pee the whole lesson long, and I guess that feeling made her totally crazy. She acted completely out of control the whole lesson long. I was so thankful that our normal lesson time is at 6:30am, because if this is how she would behave for evening lessons…wow.
Then, despite her lesson behavior, I took her out to Crumbl to get some cookies. I then let her stay up until midnight reading Harry Potter, which was a bad idea because by midnight she was practically drunk with fatigue. But I do have so much sympathy for her when she gets so into her book and doesn’t want to put it down. It’s hard for me not to indulge that.
