The Kids

Day 3

Mental note - When Raya looks like she wants to get out of the shower/tub minutes after getting in it's a good idea to listen to her.

This morning was a long one - 1st, Mom left early to open a store and I think it was one of the first mornings that Raya has ever had when Mom wasn't there when she woke up. She was not happy about that when she woke up at 7:00, but she managed to calm down with some soft music and a lot of head-rubbing. She didn't fall back asleep like I hoped, though.

So we got up and got in the shower, which turned into a bath with Maelin when she came in. I was cleaning the bathroom when Malin says, "It smells like poop in here. Oh, Raya pooped in the tub!". Yuck!

"Doodie!"

An hour worth of draining, scrubbing, rinsing, and re-bathing later and we were finally ready to start the day. We're finishing up a late breakfast now (the girls are actually coloring together) and we'll head to the library in a bit.

In other news, Raya is getting really good with her signs. She's still mixing some up, but in general she signs for food, water, help, please and more.
