Study Break

It is that time of year again, when finals begin and Jonathan dissapears into the back room/office and we don’t seem him for many days while he studies and writes himself to exhaustion.  We’ve been keeping ourselves pretty occupied, without him, but occasionally the kids still break through my barricades and try to engage Jonathan in some play time. You may or may not remember my summary of Charlie’s complicated attempts to ‘distract’ Dada from work and study.  Wendy has been developing her own strategy for claiming Dada’s attention. 

Who me?It goes like this:  She walks in, puts a hand on his arm, looks up at him, babbles a few baby syllables and then he turns into mush….

It works every time.  Here they are working on their sword fighting skills, when he is trying to cram for an exam less than two hours away.  But that’s how it is with girls and their Dada’s!
