It was a peaceful weekend. Somehow we’ve found our groove, hitting the good spot within our family, where brothers play for hours on end without much incident (though there are plenty of crying bouts, they work it out in no time, as the alternative is to sit out and watch the other two have fun). Oliver was motivated to earn some extra spending money ($1 per floor of the house vacuumed seemed like a reasonable price to me!) and there was plenty of playground time, with lost socks and tracked-down shoes because yes, even in February my boys somehow end up shoeless and sweaty. But it was really peaceful. I can see how we are hitting the sweet spot in ages — Emil is quite independent at four, and Milo and Oliver are so interested in science and reading and making things with paper that they disappear and reappear only when they are hungry or want to show us what they’ve created. It’s awesome, only I kind of miss them now. Such is motherhood — you yearn for the days of more independence, only to find it too quiet when it comes.\u00a0\"DSC_0161\"<\/a>\"DSC_0141\"<\/a>\"DSC_0150\"<\/a>\"DSC_0170\"<\/a>\"DSC_0194\"<\/a>\"DSC_0202\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The new session of circus started up again, and the boys were thrilled to be back with teachers and other students they missed over the holiday break. Milo is becoming more confident in his tumbling and Oliver is eager to learn more hoop tricks and a back walkover. Goals!\u00a0\"DSC_0205\"<\/a>\"DSC_0157\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope you hit some kind of sweet spot this weekend! Sending good vibes out into the universe today — catch ’em!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
