Yesterday was a little rough. It started off with stories and math and snuggles, but by the afternoon, Hazel’s little extrovert self was just sad. I can tell she misses her friends. Every day she asks me “where we go today?” and I tell her we can go to the park or beach, and she asks if her friends can come. She has virtual circle time with her school friends tomorrow, so I think that will brighten her day.
Ben got sent home from work yesterday, so we’re all sheltering-in-place in our cozy home together. He brought home most of his school books yesterday so he can keep preparing for his comprehensive exams next month. You know, with two small children asking for attention all day long. Should be easy.
Today was our first time co-parenting and co-working and co-schooling together. I think we did ok. I took the kids for a run and beach lunch while Ben studied, then I worked while Hazel napped and Max lego’d. We are starting to develop our daily rhythms. It is challenging, but not bad. I am enjoying our extra time together and out of the car, even if it does cost me some productivity.
We’ve learned some of our favorite restaurants are now doing take-out, so we’re going to support a local business for dinner tonight! Tomorrow, my goal is to edit/upload a few pictures I’ve taken with the “big” camera.
