the fristers are here! except for jill, josh's twin. she'll be here tomorrow morning, just in time for our family pictures.

last night micah came out of the bedroom to say goodnight to katy, the youngest of josh's sisters, and katy asked why she was wearing a pull-up (we recently started having micah wear pull-ups to bed because she was having accidents one or two nights a week, and her skin was starting to get irritated - not to mention the clean-up at 2 or 3 am was getting old. but what's funny is, she hasn't had one accident since she started sleeping in the pull-ups.) anyway, when katy asked about the pull-up, micah said, "my body doesn't know how to wake me up in the middle of the night when i need to tinkle." i loved hearing her say that. that's what we've taught her, and i worried that, since she's been potty-trained for so long now, that the pull-ups would upset her or make her feel embarrassed or something. but apparently, she understands, and i'm glad.

one of my best friends from high school and her 2-month-old son came over for a playdate yesterday. it was so much fun! we just sat and chatted about baby stuff. micah was in a funky mood when they first got there, and i could tell she was overstimulated from the errands we'd been running all morning and just needed some down-time, so i set her up in the bed with a favorite DVD, and she didn't move for the next hour and a half. baby lina was also a bit cranky, and rowan needed a nap and was sprinkling cracker crumbs all over the carpet, so for a while there, i was having one of those frazzled-overworked-mom moments that i loathe to have in front of other people. but it was quickly resolved. micah settled down, my friend held lina while her son slept in the baby swing, and i got rowan down for a nap. and it must not have been too stressful, because my friend wanted to make it a weekly thing. yay!

tonight i'm going to make southwestern soup and cornbread muffins for dinner. i'm sooooo excited.
