ALEXA and GAVIN

TUESDAY, MAY 11, 2010 Today I picked Alexa up after school. We were our usual silly goofy selves. We went home to her house and watched the Disney Cartoon channel. Gavin was ornery, but to his defense he has a cold and generally not feeling well. He has a snotty nose and is on cold medicine. Niki took the time to try to fold clothes thinking or at least hoping with me there with the kids she could get some free time. Not to be! Gavin had to be right in her lap most of the time. He would let me tease and play with him as long as he was there secure but not one on one with me. Alexa can be a good big sister but she can pick on her little brother too. A couple of times today, when her mother wasn’t watching, she would get in his face and be at least a little mean. Niki finally put Gavin in his crib and let him cry himself to sleep. Alexa’s eyes were sagging and Niki looked like she was well overdue for a nap. At that point I went home. I am not feeling too well myself; but then what else is new!? Alexa has only three more days of school this year. Oh, by the way, Alexa and I painted each others toes, purple on top of blue. this is at least the second time we have gone through this ritual.
