Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

It's been raining on and off today, which is a pleasant surprise. My daughter came over this morning with her two boys, after canceling the walk we had planned to take with them, and while my husband and the older one built a house from plasic sticks and balls (a kit), my daughter and I strolled the baby, who would not fall asleep. He won't sleep in my portacrib any more, and he was determined not to be tricked into sleeping in the stroller. He succeeded. Do you notice how a baby's will is so much stronger than ours? We always capitulate. So we ordered Indian food delivered, I got out cooked pasta for the baby which turned out to have mold on it (so embarassing) and the four year old drank half of his mango lassi and declared himself finished with lunch. At that point, my daughter having endured three hours of orneryness, she packed them up and headed home for them to have naps. I'm exhausted, and I didn't really do much. But they livened up our day, I'll say that for them! My daughter said she might come over here after they are both asleep tonight and watch a movie with us. I think she needs a break.
