Younger child home alone: Complete and utter quiet as he finishes Harry Potter #5 quietly on the couch.
Older child home alone: “I’m bored. Can you play with me? Can we do something? I’m hungry. What about playing a game? Can we go somewhere? Can you invite one of my friends over?”
Both kids home: One is reading (guess which one, duh) the other is circling him… singing, talking, begging, bored, flopping around, and then comes over to us to ask for attention.
Older child is at a four hour play practice with friends. Younger child is at home.
Utter bliss.
(I truly madly adore my older child, btw – haha!)
