Finally, the kids are sleeping...

After eating a dragging-on-forever dinner ( the kids eventually settled on chicken tikka masala mama bought from the farmer's market on Wednesday - they ate that for dinner, too, the day before yesterday), and making a lot of noises and fusses, Maya and Luca finally understand that they have to and must go to bed. Maya insists on sleeping on Luca's bed. Luca's butt hurts from diaper rush and his legs hurt from heat rash. He refuses to take a shower, but eventually succumbs to mama's insistence. It takes forever for Maya to put on her pjs. Finally they climb up to Luca's bed. Maya closes her eyes as soon as the light is turned off, but Luca continues to play with his airplanes. Ten minutes later, Luca gets up and runs downstairs, crying for daddy (who's still at work. He's had a vey busy week.) on top of his lungs. Mama gives him a good massage to calm him down. 

At 9:30pm, the kids are finally sleeping.
