Day 1290. Yesterday we all stayed home. I was teaching four hours in a row in the afternoon, which was pretty exhausting, and then another hour from 9 to 10 pm. After lunch, Sammy was on the floor near me. I looked over, and there he was, pulling himself up onto his knees and then trying to push himself up with his arms so he would get into an upright,  kneeling position, which is the way he sits.

Day 1288. The kids have swim class on Sunday every two to three weeks, and yesterday was one of those Sundays. That meant having to get up early to leave the house at 9 am. After the class we had lunch at McDonald's, and once back home, the kids went straight to bed for their nap.

Day 1286. It was a typical morning with Emmy being up first. He put his headset on that tells him stories and lay back down, so that his siblings didn't get woken up right away. Tammy was up next, and Sammy last. I turned the kids' songs on for him and put him in Emmy's bed.
