Little Buddy

I'm still getting used to working from home. It's been in the 80's this week and my office gets sun all day, so it gets pretty warm in there. Opening the windows doesn't do too much unless I open the door, too, so the air circulates. However, the kids also assume that if the door is open, they can come in and "work" with me.

This week I was on a phone call with a coworker in Virginia and Travis came in and climbed up in my lap. He was quiet, only occasionally calling out people he recognized in photos that were popping up in our screensaver (ere dada! 'ere mama! or just gasping and pointing at them), or asking who people were (wha dis?)

He wasn't too loud and my coworker also works at home with her 2 kids, so she's pretty understanding. After a couple minutes, Travis stopped talking and just watched. Then I realized, he was asleep!


No one has ever crawled in my lap at work and taken a nap!

Something else I've been meaning to post for some time is some of the funnier expressions we've heard from Sophie:

Cinders and ashes! (seriously, she said this when she was surprised)

Bust my buffers! (can you tell someone has been watching Thomas the Train)

and the other night, she got out of bed and sat at the top of the stairs insisting "I can't find my bed." Add that to the list of excuses for why she won't go to sleep.
