what a wonderful day. i was up again way too early, and took time to read alone and have some coffee. brian slept in and the kids played dune.
then there was crocheting, and reading, and music playing. I spent several hours untangling a skein of yarn that the kids had tried to "find the end" of and failed. It really was a challenge to roll it onto a ball, but I came to the conclusion that the puzzle had the same effect on my psyche as a bunch of sudokus, with a little bit more to show for it at the end. i finished the very last at the very end of the day, after bath night, as henry finished his practicing.
henry told me that 2021 has not been a bad year so far. three good things have happened. he got a scooter, he made an emoji pillow (the best thing!) and finding the key to the old puch bicycle lock that belonged to mama and was actually just hanging on a hook in the kitchen this whole time.
Centa got her chore reward from several weeks ago - a silent tea party. felix and i made scones together: we carefully cut them out with a pretty little cookie cutter but after their stint in the oven they just kind of looked like random mishhapen blobs. tasty though. centa made tangram cookies and we had a tangram game/tournament with voting and everything ... everything except speech. then we had silent roses and thorns time. definitely a wonderful day.
