It finally happened....

I remember asking several other moms at church if they had any good suggestions for ways to entertain Maddie while I was trying to cook dinner. Their response was it is always hard. But  it gets easier once you have more than one, they entertain each other. And tonight I had my first moment where it was easier with two than one! It was a miracle! I had tried to squeeze too much in (as usual). We had stayed at the pool a little bit longer than I had planned; I had to rush to the grocery store to get a few more things for dinner; and then rush home to cook dinner b/c Reid and the girl he is dating for coming over to eat and for me to meet her. So I walked in to a messy house (of course! b/c I didn't manage to get them down for a nap at the same time today), set the groceries down, turned on Maddie's music, set Emalyn down in the living room, and hurried into the kitchen to get as much done before one of them had a melt down. And it happened...Emalyn was giggling with joy. I tried to peek in to see what Maddie was doing to make her laugh, and I still have no idea what Maddie she did.  But none the less she entertained her for 20 minutes until Chris walked in the door. It was wonderful! Here's to many more nights of them entertaining each other and maybe even trying new recipes again.
