Naked Faces



Ugh...the girls are being "grumplefusses" these past few days (Andrew was forced to coin this term while I was at work yesterday - grumpy + fussy). Best I can tell it's because they're a little sick, but they've been biting more, so maybe teething. Grumplefussiness usually arises when they're tired but are refusing to go to sleep. Very frustrating. In their defense, though, they have a lot going on in addition to illness and teething - walking and talking are new, plus growing - so it must be hard for their little brains and bodies to settle down. That somehow doesn't comfort me at 1 AM when Anna's screaming for no reason like a tiny bee. :) But they have had their extra-nice moments as well - tons of umprompted hugs and kisses for mom, and Kara woke up this morning only to climb on me, give me a huge hug, and fall back asleep in my arms. Nicests, how about we keep the sweetness without the grumplefussiness?
