The Way It Works

Yesterday was Patrick's first day back at work, which left me home alone with the kids. The morning started out well and I was able to get a few things done as, after her 7:00 am feeding (at which point I got up for the day) she went back to sleep and slept until 10:00. Sebastian was as good as gold all day long and he happily played by himself throughout the day. After lunch, he even got down and, without being told, went to his room to pick out the books that I would read him for his nap. After her initial morning nap, however, Evelyn did not follow her big brother's example. Rather, she decided that she would stay awake, for the rest of the day. And, while she was awake, she of course decided that she was hungry every 1 1/2 hours. Needless to say, it was a long day. Then today, Patrick decided to work from home, so as to make things a bit easier for me. Of course, Evelyn decided to sleep all day, only waking up to eat, and was, overall, extremely good. Tomorrow, Patrick will go back to work, and we shall see how she behaves then.
