I just got back from spending a wonderful 24 hours with J & J in their RV, parked about 30 minutes from where I'm temporarily staying until I find a place to settle.

How fun it was to see how they "live" in this small space!

RVs are full of cabinets and neat hiding spaces that convert into something else. J & J are experts at what's behind each door and know the in's and out's of how to do what with what.

We had a great mac and cheese supper, since the Redskins Pizza special (you get free toppings depending on how the Redskins do in their last game and this week it was really a special, special since they *really* beat the Cowboys last Sunday, grrrrr)[I'm not a huge pro-sports fan at all, but I do have to say that I've lived in the Dallas area long enough to be at least a little disconcerted to see so much Redskin stuff on *everything* here in Northern VA] would have taken way over 45 minutes to even be ready for pick up.

Then, J & J's parents took off for shopping and we decorated Christmas cookies and watched The Polar Express. Then it was off to bed. But before that, they showed me how to work the potty (you have to decide beforehand what you're going to do in there because depending on what you're going to do, you either add water or not), how they decorated an area with a hand-drawn fireplace that they hung their stockings nearby, the mochlum angel (complete with Barbie dress and wings) that topped their small Christmas tree, and they proudly showed off their sleeping/play area.

Now I'm not sure that as J & J grow, they'll want to continue to live in such a small space with their Mom and Dad. It seems eventually female J will need some space from male J. But for now, I think they are building some really wonderful, close-knit memories of their time together in this small space.

It's obvious to me that for them, it's all the space they need.
