it's a quarter past eight...

and they're both still up. maggie has been shrieking (joyfully) for 2 hours. at least it's not one of those 2-3 am family pow-wows that maggie used to get going a few months back.

oh, i just remembered something. nina has really laid off the penis thing for the last few months. i mean, mostly. i did catch her trying to peek under the door while nick was peeing in maine, something she hasn't done in a while. but for the most part, nick's been able to take a shower without being harassed. it's because there are two potties in the bathroom at preschool, and the kids don't gender segregate. if a boy and a girl have to use the bathroom at the same time, no one has to wait. today she told me that marcus squeezes his penis to get the last few drips of pee out. so, i guess the mystery is gone.

well, maggie's pooping, i guess that's why she's still awake. i've had to start and stop this post so it's now 8:30. maybe they'll be asleep by 9.
