noisy play

a pre-bedtime dance

It was another uneventful day.  I was up a lot at night, so I napped in the day.  Our nanny is taking care of laundry and food, my mother-in-law is playing full time with the kids.  Tolga is doing everything in between - whether it's playing with the kids, doing dishes, getting groceries or running errands.

The kids are finding lots of games to play among themselves.  I think one of these days, when I'm a little more coherent, I will log their activities throughout the day - I say my days are uneventful, but their days are the opposite.  The best part is watching the games they are coming up with to play together.  The games are usually too noisy or dangerous - they love to chase each other around the house.  They may only weigh 14 and 17 kilos a piece, but they run like elephants.  Giggling, laughing, chasing, and falling down.

Our neighbor loves it too.  She's taken to occasionally banging on the radiator metal with a metal spoon so it echoes up into our place - her signal that we are too loud.  She usually doesn't come up here because I think a part of her realizes if Tolga answers the door, she might hear a piece of his mind as well.

So for the most part, we've banned the scooter races, and we decided we have to get them outside tomorrow.
