Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-09-23

2009-09-23 23:10 (Kristen) Jamie, upon being questioned, told me that Jenna is his girlfriend, and that they eat snacks together almost every day. I asked him why she was his girlfriend, and he didn't quite understand the question, so I asked him what it was that he liked about her...was she funny? kind? and he leapt in instantly and said that she was kind. Sounds good to me. The evening is kind of a blur for me, as I was quite tired, but the boys were tired too, and were in bed and asleep around 10.

2009-09-23 23:10 (Kristen) Jamie was in an uncharacteristically grumpy mood today, and Liam was too. Liam's bad mood could be attributed to a refusal to eat enough food at any given meal, and so needed to snack frequently to keep his blood sugar up. He might also have spent a little too much time playing his DS. Jamie's mood was harder to diagnose, but is likely a combination of a lack of sleep and having some trouble adjusting to his new school schedule. He has needed a bit more Mummy time than usual, and lots of reassurances. It is hard to adjust to a full day schedule, but he really has been doing well. He just needs to be reminded, and have a little extra attention. Liam and I went book shopping in the afternoon to spend some of his birthday money, and we had fun reading when we got home. Jamie and I read more of The Great Cow Race, and both he and Liam loved it. He really likes Bone, and it's so nice to read him material that he likes. Jamie told me about his girlfriends (he and Makaiya are boyfriend and girlfriend again, but I don't think that this affects Jenna's status, if history is any indicator). Note to everyone: please don't talk about Jamie's girlfriends! I don't want him to be self-conscious about it at all. We managed to get to bed on time tonight, and the boys were asleep by 9:30. Tomorrow night, if we can, we'll pull that back another fifteen minutes.
