Weekends - well, Akhil is back to working Saturday mornings and I've come to enjoy my solo time with the charming twosome. We spend a lot of time walking the 'hood, cruising through the aisles at Target, or hanging at the playground park. These are the days, I'm sure of that. One Saturday I was strolling through the farmer's market with Liv and Wy in the stroller after we'd spent about 2 hours playing at the adjacent park. I was buying green beans, plum tomatoes, and freshly baked bread. People were smiling, sun was shining... I thought, what the heck else is life about, really? This is it.
Liv's charm in a can and her dance moves have become rather exceptional; while Wyatt is really tuned into what's going on with your relationship with him. When he gets in trouble, he knows, and he says in a desperate, elfin voice, "Hi." "Hi." Until you smooth it over and make it ok. They won't have it if you don't give them their nightly couch cuddle in front of the "V" (TV) so we spend an hour or more on that before bed. Though they're talking a lot, we don't necessarily know what they're saying, but Wyatt likes to say "Bye" to things he's done with or doesn't like, like "Bye, diaper," or "Bye wawah" -- sometimes "Bye mama" - while Liv finds a lot of opportunities to say "Wyatt," "bird" and "flowah."
