my rose today was the complete day. this has just been a great day. just completely idyllic and i'm very thankful. mondays are my days at home with just otis. i did some housework, he just played contently. then i put him down for a nap with no fuss. and while he napped, i read, then had a nap myself. brendan came home for lunch, we had a nice visit. i fed otis some lunch, then we headed to the school to get the kids. we played there nicely, then walked home without drama. had a good snack, played outdoors. after the extra kids left, we had some dinner, and i gave the fellas a bath. otis went to bed at 7:30 without much effort (this is extremely new. he used to be super easy to put to bed, then he got hard to put to bed, and now we're turning a corner, and he's easy again). i've been mostly reading since then. all in all, it's been a really nice day.

no thorn!
