Our niece, Lindsay, stayed with us again this weekend. She knows all our routines and falls right in with them. Lindsay had been sleeping in a pack-n-play, but she woke up crying last weekend that she wanted to sleep in her big girl bed, so she slept in Derek's bed this weekend. Derek and Adam always like to sleep together, but we only allow it on non-school nights; since it was the weekend Derek slept in Adam's room. Lindsay took advantage of the additional room - she's all over the place when she sleeps - from one end of the bed to other, but she slept well.
It was a nice overcast and blustery weekend, almost Fall-like as the remnants of hurricane Fay pass through. We went on walks and the always kid-pleasing trip to the grocery store where they get complimentary popcorn and a cookie.
We've enjoyed the Beijing Olympics the past couple of weeks. The boys have really been into it. We've relaxed our tv restrictions during the Olympics and let them watch a lot more tv - as long as they were watching the Olympics. Our after bath routine each evening has included some Olympic viewing time before story time.
On Sunday, Derek and Adam had a piano recital. This was Derek's 5th recital and Adam's 1st. They both did a great job. Adam is very workman-like and serious as he hunches over the piano and pounds out his notes. Derek always seems to rise to the occasion during performances and adds some personality and flair above and beyond the way he practices. Helen's parents were there as well. Afterwards, we went out for a nice celebration dinner at Ippolito's and then they took Lindsay home with them for the week.
