On weekends, especially since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve been napping with Moxie. It is wonderful. She smells nice, she snores just a little, and for the first part she’s cuddley and cute. After that though all bets are off. She flips and kicks and does all kinds of things that make it impossible to sleep. 

Well, that is if you are anyone but Strider. He can actually sleep through anything Moxie does. Example: this morning I brought her into bed with us at 6:00 and she fell back asleep. However, she quickly turned perpendicular to us and had on foot on Strider’s face and the other in his armpit. He just slept right through. 
For me, she even thinks about moving and I wake up. Blast. 

We have had a couple of activity wins this weekend. Moxie is a great laundry unfolder, toy remover and all around uncleaner. She’s cute but hard to keep busy when you are trying to clean. This weekend we tried two activities. 

The first: green foam block and golf tees was an idea of Aunt Bear’s. It worked great. Kept her busy for about 30 minutes with no help from us but showing her how to play. Drawback: she figured out she could crumble the foam and marched around the house leaving a trail of green behind her. 
The second are brainbows we bought at a science store that grow to 200x their size and (theoretically) shrink back to the tiny balls after drying out. So wet they are the size of marbles and dry they are the size of pin heads. Anyway they are soft and pretty and really fun to play with. Drawback: they bounce all over. We will probably be cleaning up rainbow pin heads for a week. 
No activity is awesome and mess free. We realize that. Mostly.
