Mom came and got the girls pretty early this morning. She ended up keeping them through lunch so she picked up L and took all of them to her house for a little bit. They showed up back at the house around 3 until 4 when L’s mom came to pick her up. Emma and Lexi seemed much more comfortable with her today than even yesterday. And L seemed more comfortable as well.
While they were gone all day I worked mainly. I went out at lunch to a Combi warehouse sale. I was hoping to pick up another car seat for Lexi but they mainly had strollers there.
This afternoon after work I took the girls to Target to get J a baby shower gift. Lexi had a meltdown so we didn’t stay long. Apparently she was tired from her long day because she fell asleep on the way home. Soon after we got home, Emma and I left for the baby shower. It was at D’s mother’s house so D’s kids were there and Emma played with them well the whole time. I enjoyed good food and chit chat and stayed almost until bedtime while Emma played.
The girls are all in bed, very happy to wake up and get ready to go see ye-go, bah-pah, bih mah, and baby jawire (Diego, backpack, big map and baby jaguar in Lexi’s language). She’s pretty excited. Emma’s question tonight was are we going where we saw Shrek or The Wiggles or Dora. And when I said Dora, she knew exactly what place I meant. That girl has some sort of memory!
Mom had a funny story from Emma today. She showed her some blind at her shop this morning and Emma says “Now that’s something you don’t see every day.” I see Pinky Dinky Doo has had quite an impact in her vocabulary. The other day Heather asked her about some type of food and she says, “My mommy doesn’t prepare that food for me.” Uh, yeah, I don’t ever prepare food, I make it. Not sure where she got that from. I don’t think I’ve heard that one from Pinky Dinky Doo yet.
So I guess I should get my sleep tonight after being up so late last night. The good news is after the big Diego show MIL is taking the kids for the afternoon. That means I get the afternoon to myself. Maybe will head to the gym and then come home and clean. I’m not sure why either of those things seem like great things to do on a Saturday afternoon. Sure wouldn’t have been even a few years ago. Well, ok, maybe the cleaning still isn’t but at least if I have to do it, I can do it sans kids with the music so loud the neighbor can hear it 🙂
