One of the best presents this year...presence
Brendan comes in from work last night and yells, "Keera...let's go in the pool." You don't have to ask her twice.
I went out and the two of them went in the pool. She loves it when he plays with her in there. He pretends he is a surf board under the water and she stands on him (with her head still above water). He swims and she looks like she is gliding through water.
That was fun in itself....seeing those two enjoy each other's company....but then Connor came out and went in the pool. I thought....hmmmm...who is going to start fighting with who first? But there was no fighting. He started playing with Keera too and both Connor and Brendan were fine with each other.
That was like a miracle but then Katie came out too....she didn't go in the pool, but she sat down and we talked.
Connor got out of the pool and went inside...I was a little bummed because I was really enjoying being with all four kids, with no fighting at all. But he came back out with his laptop. So me, Katie and Connor all talked and teased, etc. while Bren and Keera kept playing in the pool. Katie's friend came over and that was fun too.
Then we all went to get ice cream.
This was truly one of this mother's better days.....all four kids with me. (Bob had a softball game, so he was not there or it would have been even better.)
