I hope a lesson that the kids learn is to be inclusive, that you can always for one more for dinner -just pull up an extra chair, that is better to share whatever it is than to leave someone out, that even including an annoying friend on occasion can make people feel good and put more happiness out in the world. I really really hope I can get this across to them.
Teddy “mommy, you are so soft and fluffy!!”
Nelly “I love your feet! I love your nail polish!”
Scottie “I baby cat you mommy cat. Halloween I baby cat you mommy cat with ears.”
Charlie “Can you snuggle me?”
All things said tonight while getting ready for bed… Makes a mommy feel very good.
The best thing is taking a bath with the littles in the big bathtub. So cute and so clean.
Charlie’s school had a pajama day today and so Teddy wanted to wear them too. First Charlie tried wearing jeans over his pajama bottoms
“Why is this so uncomfortable?!??”
Then he agreed to go in just the pjs.
Teddy picked a lovely dandelion bouquet.
After Charlie’s performance I came home to host the Blue Igloo Mom’s Night Out which was so much fun. All the fun mommies were there, Liz pretty much ran it which was amazingly helpful, there was a trunk show so lots of shopping, Charlie came down because he wanted to be at the party (“Can I go back downstairs because I didn’t get to say hi to everyone?”). Such a nice night.
Bravo, Charlie and friends. We all walked over to watch the much-anticipated performance of Bugz! Te kindergarten musical. Charlie was a pill bug, he sang, he danced, he said his lines, he rubbed his eyes, he appeared to be chewing gum (!) all around an excellent job. I was so proud of him and so happy for him. It was the cutest performance I’ve seen yet.
