The spell...

Juliet has been my fussiest baby but if I can just get her interested in something and leave, she'll play contently. However if she sees me again, she instantly forgets about what she was playing with and whines for me to come get her. I don't like to hold her all day because it doesn't help the situation and my arm just gets tired.

On a side note, I hope that all who heard Merril's comment the other night will forgive us someday because we seriously had NO IDEA about certain recent events! (We've been out of town a lot lately.) Sorry.

We'll end with 2 pictures. Juliet's favorite new game is unloading the dishwasher. Think it'll last into the teenage years?

And secondly, we'd been at the lake all afternoon and Maxine and Jack were playing on the computer. When I came in again, Jack was TOTALLY asleep on the back of the chair. They're both in their I LOVE NY t-shirts we brought back. That's the only thing we brought back for them. I kind of felt like a loser parent that we didn't even manage a toy or a book, just a shirt from a street vendor. They seem to like them.
