Almost time for bed (actually… look in the rear-view mirror, RM) but here are some highlights of the day:
This evening the girls were having crazy fun, sliding down the carpeted stairs on their butts. C was wearing these slick bloomers and tights and made it down all the stairs in about 1.5 seconds. It was wild. M was much slower, but would stop three stairs from the bottom and jump the rest of the way. I probably shouldn’t have let them do it, but dang, they were having such a good time.
In other Bad Mommy news, I drove all the way home from church with J, not realizing until I brought him inside that he was sitting completely unbuckled in his car seat. shudder
He attended his first session meeting after church. Fussed through the first part, slept through the second. Lucky kid… 
His skin is much better. I want to remember the curly pile of hair on top of his head.
Today I was getting out some of C’s old clothes, putting them in M’s drawers for her to wear this summer. C became more and more distressed looking at all these old clothes (especially dresses) that she looooooooved. I said, “Yes, that’s part of growing up, isn’t it?” She cried, “But growing up is harder than I thought!” You don’t even know, kid…
Speaking of M wearing things, she wore three different dresses today.
And speaking of growing up, C has TWO loose teeth. Sheesh!
Tomorrow J and I leave for an overnight training at our presbytery’s conference center. I hope Sweet Baby J comes along with me rather than Mr. Hyde Baby. It will be a good dry run for week after next, when I will be taking him to a clergy colleague group thingy for six days in Midwestern City in Two States.

Stair surfing!
Ah, the memories…
Give those kids a sleeping bag!!!!
Stairs are the best!
I actually broke my arm doing that (jumping off in an attempt to jump farther than my sister), but once the cast was off, I went right back to stair surfing.
i did the unbuckled car seat thing a few weeks ago, and was profoundly mortified when i discovered what i’d (not) done. thank you so much for ‘fessing up!
Hope your overnight goes well. My Bad Mommy/Nurse Impersonator moment was dragging the oxygen tube around the house, connected to the baboo, but not to the oxygen tank, for who knows how long. She seems none the worse for wear.
Then there was the time the airline lost the car seats…
That wasn’t nearly as clear a reference as I thought it was at the time. I plead sleep deprivation.
They lost the car seat, then gave Kathleen a temporary replacement until they could find ours. The replacement had something wrong with it, so an 18-month-old had the straps laid over his body as though they were actually restraining him.
He didn’t figure it out, so she was able to make it to a hotel (which was not the original destination) without him crawling all over the rental minivan, and she figured out how to fix the seat in the morning.
