Feeling slightly under the weather, I have taken a few days off of work... this allows me to pick Dylan up from preschool... For Dylan this is a huge treat as we always do something fun when I pick her up. So yesterday we went to Baskin and Robbins and she walked along the newly built ledge that allows the shorties to pick their own flavors. Dylan tried quite a few flavors with the "little spoon" before settling on sprinkle cake. As she ate her ice cream, she talked my ears off... "we should do this two times mom" " can you pick me up this many days (with three fingers raised)" and when I told her we would just do this sometimes on special occasions she responded, "okay, just on special times". So as we ran a few errands, we were driving by the library and Dylan told me she wanted to get a book... so in we went. She was talking all the way... "let's get a book about ducks mom, what did the mother duck do (I think she must have sang that song at school that day)" So we went in and picked a video and three books... Dylan played Barney on the computer and did not want to leave. She went to the magazine rack and found me a People magazine and a runner magazine and told me to "sit down and read mommy, it's the library" so that I did. As I read, she went and sat at every chair at every table in the children's section reading her book for awhile in each seat. She greeted every adult and child in her new seating arrangement. She was so cute... and mom, she didn't want to leave the library...
So last night, she wanted to read all of the books we checked (all three - I have learned don't check out more books than can be read in one sitting). Her new favorite? Don't let the pigeon ride the bus... I had never read these before, Dylan was beside herself giggling... we read it five times... and she is such a softy, by the third page she was already saying "yes, he can drive the bus" Too funny - the giggling even when she new what was going to happen next... in fact the anticipation giggling was the most fun...
Where was Tyler? At grandma's house doing homework on grandma's computer (she has a working printer)... So, here is an informal poll, we have a family vacation to Indian Wells to watch the BNP Paribas Tennis tournament over spring break... Tyler does not want to go, she is asking if she can stay at her grandmother's house. I am thinking she should go and be with the family - do I force her to go so she can torture me with her attitude throughout the week or force her to go and hope she can have some fun and make the best of the time as a family or do I let her stay with her grandmother? Tricky question for me, but I bet you all have an easy answer (or non-answer probably from some of you)... and no fair saying "you have to decide that one Kerri"...
