Spirit of the Law

I have always commented on how obedient Jesse is...especially when it comes to getting out of bed in the mornings. He stays in bed (not just his bedroom, but actually in his bed) until I come to get him. He reads, or plays, or something to pass the time. It's really nice!

So naturally, I wondered what would happen when we had to stay with other people like we've been doing for the past few weeks. He and Aurora have been sleeping on couches in the family room areas in the houses we've been staying at, so I expected him to get up out of bed like Aurora. However, Aurora has always gotten up first and come to get me up before Jesse has had a chance to wake up. Not this morning though!! I woke up to Jesse's voice, yelling, "HEY! EVERYBODY!!! It's MOOORRRNNNIIINNNNGGGG!!!!" What a character!! I guess he really DID stay in bed.....

Update on Regan: We went to the zoo yesterday and she vomited all over herself, the stroller, and the ground again. Yeah.....just picture me cleaning her and the stroller in a public bathroom with nothing but a few wipes and a burp cloth. No paper towels in this bathroom! Thank heavens we'd packed that burp cloth. Hopefully this will all end soon.

House Update: We are scheduled for closing today at 5pm, but it takes at least another 24 hrs to have the State of Utah sign off on the closing before we can take possession. It is so hard to buy a home in UT!!! At least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. :)

You would think a public restroom in Utah (particularly at the zoo) would be ready with such things as paper towels considering how many kids they should be trying to serve. I'm still impressed that you are taking the kids out and about in spite of her stomach illness. Go you!

Yeah, the zoo could use paper towels in the bathroom; it's not one of the better zoos out there.

Good luck with your house today (and tomorrow)!!

I feel your pain when it comes to vomit and public places. We have a bug going around in our family and I was cleaning a shopping cart and my son with his own shirt in the Acme this week. It is so grose!

Hooray for light at the end of the tunnel! Soon that light will be so bright you'll have to wear shades!

Jesse is so sweet. I'm wondering how much longer he'll be content to wait in bed...enjoy it while it lasts:) You should be in your new house any day now!!!!
