Thursday is the day that I get to play nanny for the boys. And boy do I love it! We have our rough patches, but it's generally a great time. For example...
Last week we had a zoo/picnic/hiking/park/ice cream day. Then a nap. A long, long nap...
Jonas (2yrs old) associates me with cake and cookies. When he sees me he starts saying cake. Repeatedly. But he has recently learned two new words! Brownies and Kayak! So now when he sees me he rotates saying Cake or Brownie. And when I ask what he would like to do today he says kayak (he's been out once!). Love IT!!
Today, to celebrate Rochesterfest, the boys and I headed over to the Nickel Carnival. I had no idea what to expect, how many nickels would be needed or if I'd be able to get nickels there. So, after lunch we stopped by the bank and I withdrew $10 in nickels. As I was waiting to receive those nickels, I realized how many I was getting. 200 nickels. 200 nickels! I was starting to think that $10 in nickels may have been an excessive choice :) Especially after we got to the carnival and I saw what was there. Bean bag tosses, kiddie basketball, ring tosses, hockey shooting and a big bouncy thing. Then repeat. We had a great time! I think they really enjoyed being in charge of their nickels and handing them to the game bosses. The boys fell asleep on the 10min ride home and I now have 8 dollars and 40 cents in nickels sitting in my purse!
