we are going to be friends

Tyler and Ella both have imaginary friends and it is awesome.

Tony is Tyler's friend. Tony appeared at our house when Tyler was 3 and then he left when Tyler was about 4.

Pina and Cosa are Ella's friends. They started coming around about 2 months ago. With Pina and Cosa's arrival Tony has come back.

The other day in the car Ella started crying that nobody would play with her. I asked her what happened to Pina and Cosa. She replied that Pina and Cosa only wanted to play with Tyler.

It's pretty sad when your imaginary friends start dissin you.

Folding the Bed

I am not good at keeping my house clean. In fact, I am so bad at keeping the house clean that I finally started to pay someone to clean the bathrooms and kitchen.

Now that Charlie is a little bit easier I decided to make a goal of keeping the house more presentable. I decided that the first step should be to make the beds in the morning. I am slightly embarrassed to admit that I NEVER make my bed in the morning. I also have never taught my kids to make their beds. It is so foreign that Tyler calls it "Folding the Bed"

I am proud to announce that we have made the beds for 9 days in a row!!! Here's the proof . . .

This is Ella "folding her bed"

This is Tyler pretending to "fold his bed"

This is Tyler crying when I told him that he actually had to make the bed -not just pretend

And this is Tyler refusing to make the bed and running away
