Home again

Tracy and Owyn got home today. Owyn was extremly pleased to be back in his house with his toys and his bed. He was not pleased enough to take a nap. That meant no nap for Mama either.

Rhys was very glad to see his brother. He was indifferent to his Mama. Rhys is a daddy's boy. This is unfortunate as he does not show a lot of affection for his mom. He asked about her every day, but now that she is home he's "oh, you're back. that's nice".

My prediction was that the boys would be fighting within twenty minutes. I was wrong. They lasted forty five. It was almost nice to hear it again. They actually played very well together, considering how tired they both are. Rhys was asking to go to bed at 1700. Just a little bit too early for my tastes. As usual, once his brother went to bed he was all sweetness and cuddles until his bed time.

Tracy is sure that Rhys grew at least six inches while she was gone. I didn't notice, of course, having been with him the whole time. It should have been a tip off when he had to wear my jeans to school today though. He easily could have grown quite a bit. Children don't seem to grow steadily. It always seems as if they just sprout an inch over night.

Now that everyone is home we can settle back into our routine. This will be good for the boys and for us. Owyn, especially, loves his routine. I'm looking forward to a couple months with no excitement.
