Nice?

Last week Buddy received a job offer down at the Pentagon that he will most likely take. It would start immediately after his 6 weeks of vacation are over. This is his last week of work before it starts. We have some ideas of what to do with that time but I don't know what will make it into the realm of actually happening. It looks like around Bohdin's birthday we will move into a new place in nothern Virginia. He wants a party with his friends there but he'll actaully be lucky if we're not in a hotel room like we were for his 3rd birthday. Perhaps we can move his birthday up a few weeks. He's not very good with a calander yet and would likely not know the difference.



Nyla watches behavior. A few weeks ago I had my hair up in a pony tail. Later when I took it down I put the rubber band thing around my wrist until I could put it away later. A few days ago Buddy put Nyla's hair in a pony tail. Soon after her hair was down and the holder was around her wrist. She also is trying to figure out what is nice and not nice. Her physical affection tends to be on the rough side. We've told her many times to use a soft nice touch so now sometimes she tests it out. She'll touch us and ask "nice?" and repeat it over and over. She cries when we say that it is not nice.

I set out the kids meals on the little table and grabbed my cereal bowl and sat down. Nyla came over and farted in my face as she climbed up into my lap. Then she stole my spoon and started eating my cereal. That was certainly not very nice but she didn't ask.
