getting ever closer

tomorrow i think this will all seem very real and up in my face.

angie is the name of the new mee moo.

i keep trying to write everything down that we do or what we could do.....maybe tomorrow i will have a better feel and will know more what i should write down depending on how she is with the kids.

this week is going to be hard.

i have to teach her words like oopsadoodle and how henry sleeps sans pants at naps so he has easy access to the potty....how to communicate with catherine....how to tell when they are really sick....when to be lenient and when to be tougher...what museums are the favorites....how henry doesn't need to hold hands to cross the street but that i will generally put my hand on his head so that i have him in case some maniac runs the light or stop sign...that henry knows how to ride the metro and hold on...

so i guess i can write stuff down but these are the things i know and love about the kids and angie can offer new perspective....

and so it begins....another kind of countdown.
