I did NOTHING today. Ok, well maybe I did one load of laundry and cleaned up dishes. I did also make lunch and supper. But, I didn't get anything done that I really should have gotten accomplished. I guess it will wait for me won't it.

I did however spend a great deal of time online doing some research. I've contemplated not writing about this yet. I am a bit superstitious, if you will, about talking about things before they are set in stone. It seems things get "jinxed" and don't happen if you talk about them before they happen. So, even as I write this I'm trying to decide if I'm actually going to write about it or not. And after much contemplation, I've decided to not say anything at this point. Then why am I writing this? Well, because I do want some record of what is going on and while others may not know what I'm talking about, when I look back on this I will.

Today had some cool things in it that I can talk about though. I introduced my kids to a movie I just loved when I was a kid. So, yeah it's an OLD movie. We watched Bugsy Malone. It was fun to share that with them. They both really liked it a lot, too. We watched it together in Michaela's room, which she thought was cool because we all gathered in her domain.

This evening I saw something really fun to watch. Michaela was playing Caleb's Monster Truck Jam Wii game. Her truck tipped over on it's side and she handed Caleb the remote so he could get it back up on it's wheels for her. That is the first time I've seen her defer to her brother willingly and not let it bother her. It was so natural and it was so incredible to see Caleb helping his sister with something he can do but she hasn't figured out yet.

Although, it made me really look hard at him. He's growing so fast. I've come to the realization that I hate/love the KG year. It takes my baby away from me. It also is exciting to see this little person becoming more independant. And, in about 10 minutes I'm putting my two children who are growing up way too fast to bed.
