Breakthrough!

Yesterday my lovely J went to swimming and did not cry! He did not yell! I wrestled him to get his clothes off but after that he was willingly bopping in the pool and while he made sure to keep his angry "cara de culo" on the whole time, he did not suffer. Yeah! In the meantime, M was making me tired swimming laps like a maniac back and forth across the pool. We had a Crazy day, as usual, teeming with activities (brunch with J's best friend, 100 errands, my tutoring, their soccer fair) that culminated in a (late) all school party at Chelsea Piers. J spent the whole time chasing and being chased by a lovely little girl in his class, while M engaged in soccer, gymnastics and other cool social SK activities. These children go to bed religiously between 7:15-7:45, 8pm tops. After all they did, they went to bed at 9:20pm! Did they wake up a minute later today? No Siree Bob, that's just not how it works with them. For those of you who think I am too strict in my routines, I will have you know that not only did they bypass bedtime, but these kids have not been bathed since Friday night! Off we go to get J at soccer (maybe he will smile there today?) and to brunch with friends. Happy Sunday!
