eat, sleep, play

It feels as though haven't done much these days.  Eating, nursing, sleeping, changing the baby, taking a shower once every few days . . .

Two weeks old!
Tomris was crying this morning because she didn't want Baba to go to work.  Later, when I sat down for breakfast - she said to me in mixed Turkish and English -
"I cried this morning.  Do you know how?"
"How?"
"Waaaaa.  Waaaaa."
That girl has the drama down.

Teoman is so sensitive too - but it looks a lot different.  Tomris is quick to tears.  Teoman thinks.  And he's honest.
"Teoman, how'd you get to be so clever?"
"I'm not going to tell you.  I'm not going to tell you because I don't remember."

Teoman and Tomris are around me all the time.  They play with the nanny and their grandmother, and check on me or the baby in between play to settle a fight, or to cry, or to climb on top of me.

We took them out to the park today next to our house.  We have a strategy to play a little harder in the morning, get them to nap earlier and shorter, and hopefully have less of a struggle in the evening.

But they were still hard to wake from their naps.  Especially Teoman, he sleeps hard.  They both still napped for two hours...or more, I'm not sure because I slept too.
