shop days


We set up a little family area at the shop for the children.  I have been helping Miah at work more and so we needed the kids to have a little spot where they can play.  


Paloma is the one who is there the most, then it's she and angus, and sometimes Jonas joins them.  They have a t.v., Legos, play-doh, markers and books.  


They are all so good and so crazy. They play and watch and talk to us when working on their Legos or play-doh.  Paloma wanders out of her little area and checks up on what her daddy is doing.  She talks to me while I struggle with a cardboard box or while sending an email.


Angus gets in there and sometimes, his shirt comes off, because I figure, he feels at home. 

They wrestle on their cushion.  They watch The Lion King over and over.  They play quietly.  They play loudly.  They say they have to go potty and then change their mind halfway to the bathroom. 


Jonas wants to always work on something, make something, "what can I do?" he asks.  


They are setting the background noise while we work.  They are learning to entertain themselves when mommy and daddy are a bit busy.  Just a little, because we hear those little voices for the few hours we are there constantly.
