Crayons & Cookies

I do love it when Gerard is home and playing with Anna. He does not quite realize just how much she misses him during the day. Everytime I think of coming off the night shift when I am so tired I think of how much I would miss. Gerard usually calls pretty often throughout the day to see what we are doing.

Yesterday he was home with us the better part of the afternoon. Anna is quick and busy and has been from the minute I met her. He usually does not watch her alone when she is awake you know diapers and such and he has made one or two comments like did she do that when you dozed off this morning?

Silly man there is zero dozing off because I am truly chasing her or picking up all day long. Which brings us to yesterday. I was cleaning up after dinner and left the two of them about 3 feet away, no lie, small house open floor plan. Anna and Gerard each were having "cookies". Anna had her crayons out and was coloring.

I am pretty sure I was getting a lecture about time management or sometime like and how when you have a child sometimes it is difficult to get things done while keeping her busy but that it can be done. To that I said really! Then I asked how was the cookie? Then I asked when did Anna start eating the green crayon? Then he said I see what you mean you can not take your eyes off her for a minute...you probably are not dozing off are you?

One thing I did find to be amazing is crayons will come off your walls in a matter of seconds. Crayons coming out of a 2 year olds teeth takes at least 2 people and 2? minutes.
