Yesterday we started our day by making some birthday cards for Bella's Daddy. We colored cakes and balloons and presents. I was really proud of Josh who despite what I thought has actually been listening to me. I said to him, "Let's write your name, J..." Then my wonderful son said "O" Yay!! He has been listening and I have a restored confidence that he will not be 35 before he has any interest in learning to write his name.
We talked all about birthdays yesterday. Bella kept telling me "Mommy make cake for Daddy at home" We talked about the special cakes we get. I was watching my friend's son yesterday for part of the day and he talked about the special Toy Story cake his Mom is making him next week for his 4th birthday.
I took out our play kitchen and we made some pretend cakes and "ate" them. Ava liked this. She didn't understand the fake bites at first but once she saw what everyone else was doing she happily joined in.
Later in the day when Tyler and Alex P came Josh was so glad to see them! He'd been trying very hard to get Ava to play with him but once she went down for a nap he was so lonely. I played kitty, trains and Buzz but I'm no 4 year old boy.
When we got the Mister Alex home from school the kids ate lunch and played outside. They found an earwig in the sandbox and all ran screaming from it. It was pretty hysterical. Even when the earwig was gone they wouldn't go back there. The two Alexs made some "soup" to feed to the chickens. They used a bottle from the sandbox to hold various leaves and grasses from the back yard. They "cooked" it on our firepit, added some morning glory and ivy and dumped it in the coop. The chickens love fresh greens. It would be hard to find some more grateful recipients.
