When my mom visited a couple months ago, she mentioned that I no longer look so lost all the time but more at home here in L.A. now. Yes, I know, it's been three years. Yet I still wish we could move back to the midwest not only because my family and friends are there but also because I have a fear that a huge earthquake is going to hit us. Now that I have three kids, the prospect is even more frightful because it's as if I have pieces of my heart walking around outside my body and I can't be with them all the time. But I'm in the minority with my paranoia, because no one else appears concerned. I think they're all, why think about earthquakes when we've got amazing weather?!
But even if an earthquake did hit us and I was with Eli, we would not be able to move to a safe locale fast enough because of his new hoarding tendencies. You know that Oprah episode with the lady whose house contained a warehouse full of junk? That is my life with Eli. If he and I move from Point A to Point B, so must ALL his toys. This new inclination has only been around in the past couple weeks or so, but this is how he HAD to go to bed for his nap the other day:
He's very content when he has all 592 toys and stuffed animals with him. I actually think he could stay in his bed forever if we would occasionally stop by and refill his snack bowl.
Audrey, on the other hand, has one simple toy that satisfies her-- her classical musical mobile:
The shirt she's wearing was a cute gift. Although her face still looks like an old man's to me, I think she looks adorable in anything. And while she's not a triplet, I think she is in fact part of a "terrific trio". The leader of our peanut gallery:
