The Weekend

I was irritable and grumpy for no reason at all. Discouraging. 

Some good parts: Francisco took Q on a walk to the library and he checked out some books on sleight-of-hand. Q and Blaze spent lots of time trying out and practicing magic tricks. 

Q begged for Pride and Prejudice, so we watched the first hour together. It is his favorite--and we even talked about an Aristotelian interpretation where wit is the virtue and Lizzy has it; Mary has not enough; Lidia has too much. I am the luckiest mother-of-boys. If only I could get them into Anne of Green Gables, I would be perfectly happy. 

The boys always have a lot of inertia about not taking their weekly shower (for Q) and bath (for Blaze). After his shower, Q decided to follow it up with a bath. Q: "This is amazing! Blaze, you should be happy to take a bath!" Blaze: "I know it's amazing in there. It's just that you get showers every day [read once a week] and I take baths everyday, so it's not so amazing for me." 

They played together perfectly all weekend and listened together to their audiobook a lot. They are so very lucky to have each other.
