The Mama Wars

Well, "wars" is putting it a bit too strongly. More like "The Mama Grumble Fests."

Often when one kid climbs on me to snuggle, the other suddenly wants to too. They are little enough that they can both fit on my lap (or maybe it's that my lap is big enough :-P ), but they tend to get wiggly and territorial and mildly peeved with each other.

This evening, Russell was on my lap cuddling and Silas kept coming over to snuggle too (often trying to nudge Russell off). At one point, Silas wandered away for a bit. Russell moved in for a more comprehensive cuddle and when Silas came back, Russell announced, "Mama is closed."

I think I may have to start using that as a slogan myself at times!
