Day 733. Last night was very tough, as I already told you in yesterday's report. Tammy wanted Daddy, who had worked until 11 pm to finish putting the toy kitchen together that they had received for their birthday. He had to interrupt working once to sit down with her, hold her, put her to bed, and walk away, but then she wanted Daddy again, just as he finished working.

Day 732. Last night I was so extremely tired, I could not keep my eyes open while writing my update. At 11:30 pm I headed to bed. This morning Emmy came to me at 4 am. At 6 am he was up and about, woke his sister up, and already asked for food. He was crying and throwing a fit, demanding food. I finally got up and gave them milk and salami, while making their cereal.

Day 731. Happy second birthday, little ones! That's been the theme all day long. From the time they hopped into bed this morning until the evening. All morning I was singing "Happy Birthday" to them. They really looked puzzled, wondering what was going on, but they understood it was something special and that it involved them.
