Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-09-05

2009-09-05 23:14 (Kristen) We're going to have to teach Liam not to gloat. He's so cheerful and pure about it--he's not trying to hurt feelings--but his rejoicing when he gets his own way can't but grate on his older brother a little bit. Tonight's reason for gloating was that he'd asked first to play Super Mario Galaxy, and Jamie had to wait. Glee, and arm pumping as he ran around in a big circle. John explained that when the big hand (which was on the 6) reached the 9, it was Jamie's turn, and that when the big hand reached the 12, it was bedtime. And then Liam piped up, "and when it reaches the 10, it's Liam's turn again!" Um, no. But a good try.

We took the boys to the St. Lawrence Market today, and I worked in a nearby Starbucks while John took the boys around shopping. Afterwards, he took them to the splashpad nearby (they all close after Labour Day Monday) for one last splash, and then we took them home. They did work, and played, and watched television, and ate dinner. Jamie had a very hard time falling asleep again. He's been having trouble lately, and tonight he wasn't asleep until almost 11:00, despite exercise and proper food. I hope that going back to school deals with this problem, and quickly.
