Break has broken

At noon today the children's screams almost drowned out the shrill ringing of the alarm.

Christmas break had officially begun!

Sela got a good start to the holiday by heading straight over to Danielle's house for a sleepover and playdate and goodness knows what else. She assured me they would be in bed by 6pm and I said I was sure they would.

Carys and Jasper went to Cyberport to play with friends. Carys came back asking me for a sleepover and I admit that I said no. Jasper asked the same question and got the same response. Those two are so cranky and in such need of sleep that I definitely want them to sleep in…we've got big travels coming!

And Seb could have gone to Cyberport but he instead came home and just rested. He's going through a bit of a tough time, this growing up thing is hard. No one is being mean to him, but there are things he is finding tough to understand and wants to think about. Why do people stop liking each other when one of them hasn't changed? You know, tough things like that.

And apparently, thinking is best accompanied by watching a movie. He stretched out, told me how much he loves me and then did not eat a bite of the lunch I made for him. He did smile and tell me how much he liked the quiet flat.

Who can blame him?
