Long weekend

In more than one way.

First, I have no classes on Friday, which means a sort of 3-day weekend. So how did I spend it, you ask? Well, between errands, reading, and family time, I did some cooking yesterday.

Noah has been just awful the past week or so. He's delighted to go off to school and seems to really enjoy it once he's there, but he's intolerable around the house. He won't let Tomomi out of his sight—as though he's afraid of being left behind all alone or something. He's been having serious meltdowns on a relatively regular basis. He's doing the "Terrible 2s" again, only the misbehaving is deliberate since he knows better now. He has, on quite a number of occasions, expressed his desire to forcibly remove his sister from this mortal coil. Et cetera, et cetera...

But he still can be enormously charming and a lot of fun in between these episodes of demonic possession. We had a good time playing and walking outside yesterday, and he was at his best when Amy's friend came last night.

It probably helped that he got to sit on the couch and watch a full 30-minute episode of Amy's show, but he was really good before that, too.

And here he is! I've gotta go.
