Right now I've sort of had enough of kids for tonight. Laura is crying in the living room, Kirstine has cried and called for my twice since I tucked her and Caroline in for the night, but at least Caroline is sleeping. She was out like a light almost the moment I tucked her in.
My sister came over this morning with Laura, so my dad and I could watch her while my mom and sister went to town. Of course, Laura being Laura, she cried almost all the time. Not really surprising since she is only two months old and her favourite thing in the world is to lie in her mom's arms. Then my sister got back and my parents went to meet with their bank, while we had lunch. Luckily be then Laura was well fed and happy, so when my sister left to run an errand and left me alone with Laura. She actually smiled most of the time. I sat with her and played. And really whoever decided that two months-old kids aren't supposed to sit up? Laura at least think that's stupid. She prefers sitting up and if you tell her she really isn't old enough yet she just looks at you with a look saying "well then help me stand up". But knowing her older sisters, that's not really a surprise. After my sister got back she had to chance 'cause she was going to dinner with her colleagues, so I got left alone with Laura again. This time however she wasn't all that happy unless I walked around with her.And you know, a six kilo kid actually weighs something ;) Specially after you've walked around with her on one arm for about fifteen minutes. But then my sister finished and left with Laura, leaving me alone to finally get started on my studying for the day.
Of course I'd only gotten through about five pages before my parents and brother got home, and the I had to go and pick up Kirstine and Caroline from kindergarten. I talked my dad into going, cause we had to get all their cold weather clothes home and had to go shopping too. This was around three o'clock and then the rest of my afternoon just disappeared in playing with the kids, making dinner, running to the shop for extra milk and putting the girls to bed.
I took Caroline to the store with me for milk and she spent the whole time standing in line singing Christmas songs and jumping up and down. She simply has so much energy and such a good mood, that it's contagious. You just end up being in a good mood when you spend time with her :) Now they are both sleeping upstairs and Laura, who my sister dropped off before going on to the party part of the day with her colleagues, is with my parents. They are way better with kids that age than me anyway. Not that I don't like kids that age, I just like them more when they get older. They are so much easier to deal with when they can tell you what's wrong.
I have now learned about a quarter of the stuff I need to learn for my exam Friday, so maybe it'll be all right. I hope so anyway. And I still don't see the reason why I need to learn all this stuff be heart anyway. It's not like I'm going to be able to remember it all in a month or so anyway...
