Tolga's brother has been here all weekend and left this morning. Around midday, I brought Tuana to the doctor to check her belly button - the cord broke off on Saturday, but there was a weird piece of raw skin sticking out, and after a couple of days, a collection of yellow. The doctor said it wasn't infected, but it may be over the next couple of days - so to start applying an antibiotic cream to it.
I had brought the nanny with me, and when we got home, Anne had fed the children and was working on putting Tomris to sleep. Apparently Tomris had put up a good fight - so I was impressed they were quiet in the room. Teoman fell asleep at 3pm and we had decided everybody would get up at four so Tolga and I wouldn't be fighting them at night time.
Well, I overslept too - and woke up from a phone call at a quarter to five. Mina's birthday party was today - and I had thought it was tomorrow. My friend Emily was a few minutes away coming to pick up Teoman and Tomris up.
Zuleyha, our nanny, had been trying to wake up Tomris sine four - but now that I was up, I just had to say "Mina" and they both got right out of bed. We had bought her present the day before, so I just had to wrap it and send them out the door. They were both so excited to leave me at home and go on their own to Mina's - it was pretty cute.
While they were gone - Emily kept sending me videos and pictures of their time together.
And our house was so quiet.
Too quiet.
Tolga and I picked them up at 8pm. Teoman was wearing girl pants because after two lemonades and all the excitement, he didn't make it to the toilet in time. Tomris took my hand and brought me upstairs to see Bella - their little mut. Both kids are still scared of the little dog - and while Teoman was running around and screaming - at one point he jumped on me shaking.
We left and Emily sent us with some of the cake she had made - blue velvet with princess toy figures on the top - I missed American style icing from a can.
