Rough times

I have had both my nieces over here for few days. Yesterday we went to visit my friend who had just last week received two cats. She also has a boy who is the same age as my nieces. The day started a bit slow as one woke up at six and the other after seven. The other one did not have a good day at all. Just complaining every other little thing. I was so surprised that we even got to my friends home.

Luckily there she cheered up and all three played together. There were some tantrums over there as well but the kids sorted them out themselves. When it was time to leave it was more rough for the other one who hadn't had any tantrums yet. She really liked to be there and wanted to go again soon. Luckily the ride back was much more calm. Well they sang this song called Silkkii (the chorus part) in chorus for the entire trip back home. There were some doubt how the words really go, but they had fun.

They both had a fun day and evening (the tantrums were more rough on me than on them) and both went to bed quite easily. Too easily. After few minutes I went to check upon them. Well other one  (with the tantrums) were drawing and other one was trying to sleep. I told that now it is time to sleep and took the papers and pens away. Then the one who tried to sleep asked if she could sleep in another room. Of course I said yes, because she also said she had a headache. Oh, boy. That's when the other one started to cry.

So I spent an hour (at least) calming her down and making the other one sleep in the same room. I had to pretend to be asleep between them (on the floor). Oh, boy the amount of the crying. Well I did notice that she was tired and this is why she was crying. I just assured to her that my other niece will be sleeping there as well and hold her pretty much the entire time. In the end it was easier to pretend to be asleep. She did test me, poking once in a while and checking if my eyes were open. But I kept my cool and did not open my eyes untill I was farely sure she was asleep.

This morning they both woke up at their own time and are now watching Tom and Jerry.
