Lap Space

It seems as though wherever I am seated, I will always have a child or two or three even, vying for a spot on my lap. After a while of the boys and Addy climbing up and down, and over and under one another to find a seat with mommy, I am DONE! I will hand someone off to Daddy and find something for the other one to do! I love that they want to sit with me, but their idea of sitting is totally different from mine. Another thing is they are usually using me as a way to reach something they can't have. So, they will climb up my lap to sit in the window or jump on the couch. I have to really look into their eyes to be able to figure out their motives for wanting up! I hate it when I think about how "easy" they are when they are sick. They lounge around and sleep a lot. That part is nice. The throwing up and crying because they don't feel well is awful. In the end it is better to have a happy, healthy baby. I know that, really! I am just wondering if there will ever be a day when they like sitting with me, simply because they are sitting with me?? I won't hold my breath!
