This post doesn't directly concern the boys, but like everything else, it revolves around them. As some of you know we have a gate up that conveniently blocks both the staircase and the kitchen. There are times when this seems to symbolically divide the space into a large kids area in the living room, where chaos reigns, and a much smaller adult area in the kitchen. Sarah and I have found ourselves at times standing in the kitchen, doing nothing, just being there for the sake of being at some slight remove from Thing 1 and Thing 2 and their antics.
We've also taken to calling the small corner of the kitchen that is out of sight of the living room the "grown-up corner" because we can hide there. usually this only happens when we want to eat something that we don't want the boys to see, chocolate for instance. Connor is already very alert to the slightest indication of crinkling wrapper paper and will begin proclaiming "TEEEET! TEEEET" (treat) very loudly if he has any inkling that something is in the offing.

Steve kreter and I still have our own room where the children have to be invited. Though they try to take it over, when we are home I remind them that this was our space & they still, as adult children, "need to be invited in."
