I mentioned earlier that I was hoping for a little alone time with each of the girls, and my wish actually came true tonight (though for an unfortunate reason). Zoe came home from school not feeling well (tired, sore throat) and wound up going to bed before 6. Avery and I, in turn, were able to spend some quiet time together, snuggling and reading books – and I couldn’t help but think now nice and easy it felt. (When you have two, caring for one kid feels like a piece of cake!)

At the same time, though, I missed Zoe – and so did Avery, who I think was confused by her absence. She pointed to Zoe’s room and looked up at me quizzically at one point, and also called out for Zoe, who’s always there to wish a good-night to Avery, a few times. Here’s hoping Zoe is better in the morning!
