I was pulling into our community lot at about 4:30 and Zuleyha was pushing the stroller - Tuana sitting upright, straight faced and examining the world with big, round, blue eyes. She's always watching and noticing everything. You can almost see the little wheels turning in her brain.
They were on their way to the market, so besides pausing for me to get Tuana's attention through the window, they continued on. Teoman and I went up the elevator to our apartment and it was empty. I'm not sure how I knew, maybe it was too quiet - but I knew they were all gone. Zuleyha forgot to mention it - and the apartment seemed light and empty.
I wasn't sure if I was disappointed that after a long day of work, my other two were taken away ... or happy to get a quiet home, even for 20 minutes. I stuck, Teoman in the bath, and Tomris came soon after and jumped in as well.
Tuana returned with Zuleyha just as the kids were getting out of the bath. Tuana loves taking a bath and her siblings coming out of the bathroom with bathrobes and wet hair was enough evidence for her to understand she'd missed out on her favorite time. She pointed and hollered towards the bathroom door.
Quite clever, and always clear with what she wants.
It was 5:15 - A lot happens in 45 minutes.
