My kids have been evil villains today. They have mastered the evil villain laugh! Nathan starts it - he throws his head back and lets loose with a big "Bwa ha ha ha haaaaaaa!" Then Lila joins in. Hers is mostly "Ha ha haaaaa!" Have you ever heard a one year old attempt an evil laugh? It's mostly just cute, with not a lot of evil to it.

I have to tell you what a great time we've been having on our playdates lately. We have this three-in-one deal - Nathan and Anthony are the same age and buddies at school, Lila and Angelina are just 10 days apart, and Susan and I talk like we've known each other for years.

Today we went to the Louisville Science Center. We have the dual membership with the Zoo, so on sunny days we visit the animals and we spend the inside days at the Science Center. Nathan and Lila both love the KidsZone. We usually just visit the Polar Bears and the Mummy upstairs, but today we had to do the whole Center.

Have you ever noticed that two four year olds combined produce the energy of 10 four year olds?

I made the mistake of telling Lila too early about our plans. She was ready to go, and waiting just infuriated her. I keep forgetting that she has already reached that age! As soon as Randy got home, she presented him with her shoes and demanded that they go out. Once they were out, she demanded to be put in her car seat!

OK. It has been a long time since I've posted. Life is just rolling along. By the time I get my computer time at night, I can barely finish a sentence! I fell asleep with both kids at their bedtimes tonight. Lila likes for me to lie down in her crib so she can just drift off as she nurses. I don't usually fall asleep with her - it's a bit cramped.

Nathan likes to fall asleep between Randy and myself. Our "I love you" ritual is getting kind of long. First I say "I sure do love you." Then he says that back to me. Then I'm supposed to say "Good night, Nathan. I love you." And he says that back. For some reason, that wasn't enough tonight. He kept telling me "Say I love you! Say I love you, Nathan."

We did have a rough day today. I was tired, and he was in a mood. Cooperation was hard to come by. I'm not sure we'll be going to Storytime often here in Shepherdsville. After three hours of preschool, an hour of structured good behavior is just too painful. At least it was for me!

Lila was funny at the library. She needed to nurse during Storytime. While we were nursing, Nathan took that opportunity to scoot across the room to sit next to the other rowdy boy. Nathan was actually sitting quietly when Lila finished nursing. She was a concerned by his absence, and set off in search of "Neh neh." When she found him, she reached out to muss his hair and broke that quiet moment.

Nathan was way too happy to see Lila, and pulled her onto his lap. She wasn't thrilled about this confinement. I had to intervene.
