Sunday was good day. We had a birthday party at a local McDonalds. I don't think I've been to a birthday party at McDonalds since I was 7....and it was my own. Awesome. Thing 1 & Thing 2 were as well-behaved as a bunch of pancake-and-cake-stuffed kids can be while climbing through a bunch of stairs and slides. I was pretty good at staying calm all day, although I didn't have any reason to get mad at anyone. Thing 1 did end up being sent to bed without his usual routine, which is usually 2 stories, we sing a song together (real or made up), and we ask each other 2 questions. Last night he didn't get that, he was playing too rough with Thing 2 in the basement, so mom sent him upstairs to bed.
We do have a lot of rules in our house - no hitting, kicking, pushing, yelling, etc. Standard fare, I suppose, but sometimes I wonder if it's too much for them to process. And then Thing 1 will say something like, "Hey, it's 9:45! That's like 549 (on Bell TV) Disney Junior backwards!" They're too f**king smart and they remember everything. This morning I even got hugged first (before mom!!) when we dropped them off at school. They never cease to amaze me....
