Saturday night.
Dinner in the dining room, just for a change.
One boy without a shirt (torn off after a hot chocolate spill hours before, never replaced).
One boy a bit cranky and eating very, very slow.
Another one ate super, super fast. Since their Mama desired their company at the table for more than 45 seconds, we brought out some crayons and paper.
Which slowed down our slow eater that much more.
Silliness ensued, crankiness eventually disappeared, boys finally finished their meals.
Stefan and I lingered for a few minutes, discussing this and that, and eventually realizing that---despite the chaos and frustrations that this particular day of parenting brought on---we really do have everything.
