The Good!
So, a lot of people say they wish they could just see a day in the life of the Coleman family… now you can. I can’t promise it will be pretty. I can’t promise it will be easy. But, it is pretty good.
MLK Jr. day – no school today. This morning Aaron went to work at the Signing Time office – he must be editing. Getting ready for the re-release of Signing Time volumes 1, 2 and 3. He’s adding special features and updating the “old Rachel” with the “new Rachel”. (I can refer to myself in third person can’t I? I mean that Rachel is a character, isn’t she!?) It’s actually nice to know your spouse is the one picking shots of you.
So, no school and very cold today. I think it is 8 degrees. We were destined to spend the day inside. But NO – I checked out Fandango and 10 minutes before the movie started I grabbed Lucy and Leah to load in the car for an afternoon of Eragon. Lucy likes to negotiate and today it was about her baby doll and her baby doll’s car seat.
Lucy — “Mom can I take Elizabeth to the movie?”
Me — “Yes, Lucy.”
Lucy — “Mom will you fasten her in her car seat?”
Me — “Yes Lucy.”
Lucy — “Mom can Elizabeth come see the movie too?”
Me — “Only if the car seat stays in the car.”
Lucy — “But mom, I promise she won’t make a sound during the movie!”
Me — “Lucy the car seat stays in the car and if I hear any more about it, Elizabeth stays in the car as well.”
Lucy — “Mom it’s illegal to leave your baby in the car!”
Outcome – Elizabeth the baby doll saw Eragon and the car seat stayed in the car. Since we were late, Lucy’s wheelchair stayed in the car too. Leah carried Elizabeth and I carried Lucy. Oh, when we left the theatre, Lucy was down one shoe. Leah ran back into the theatre and retrieved it. It is so nice to have a “Leah” when your hands are full of “Lucy”.
