Today was a holiday (President's Day) and both Ted and I had off work. The kids were out of school too because it was a staff training day. So, we decided that we would try and do something to get the kids out of the house. The past couple of days, Molly has had a runny nose and she did have a slight fever, but the fever seems to be gone now (fingers crossed). The runny nose is still there, but I am hoping it is just from the weather change. Last week, we had a few days in the 70s and then some in the 50s. Today was a beautiful 73. So after the kids naps', we decided to go to a bounce house for Brody to play (wasn't sure how Molly would do). Well, when we got there, of course, Brody started crying because the man at the front door wanted to put a wrist band on him. Molly cried too, but they both stopped pretty quickly. Well, it took Brody a little while to convince him to go in one of the bounce houses, but once he did, he had a blast. After about 20-30 minutes, he was done and said he was ready to go. When we got in the car, I asked him if he had a good time. He said "no." I said you didn't and he said "no" again. So, I asked if he wanted to go to the park. Of course, he was super excited about that and started talking about going on the swings.
A few of the parks we went to first were pretty crowded so we found one that had no one on it. The kids decided to swing first and then after that, Brody went to slides. He was climbing up this one ladder and got to the top and couldn't figure out how to get off and onto the platform. He said "Mommy, help! Help me!" I said I was coming and the next thing he said was, "Mommy, ayudeme, ayudeme!" Now, my many years of Spanish knew what he said but I couldn't believe it! I asked Ted if he heard him and he said "Yes, what does that mean" I said, "He just said Help Me in Spanish!" We both busted out laughing! I couldn't believe he said it, much less the fact that he used it in the right context! Now, this made me feel a little better about the fact that he watches Dora the Explorer and Go Diego Go because now I really feel like he is learning something! Anyway, it was pretty hilarious!
So, we ended up getting something to eat on the way home and I actually broke down and let Brody get ice cream! Now, for anyone who knows me well, they know that I do not give my children sweets! I would much rather they eat fruit or sugar free treats, but I thought "What the heck!" I really think it was frozen yogurt anyway. Well, Brody got some and I gave Molly some too! She was like a little birdie, constantly with her mouth wide open ready for a spoonful! Now, both kids are bathed and in bed......Molly already asleep and Brody watching some TV.
I am just going to relax now until bed time because I have been having a hard time waking up the past few days. I have been waking up to Brody in my face saying "Mommy, I have to pee!" Don't get me wrong......I am super excited that he is coming to tell me rather than going in his pants because I can now officially say that he is potty trained! He has done an awesome job of not going in his pants at night and of course, we have had no accidents during the day for a while now. Whew, it is such a relief not to have to buy two big boxes of diapers when we go to the store.
I am going to upload some pictures tomorrow from my work computer. I tried here and it is just too slow. Not sure what that is about! Off to do some cleaning up and I might read a little before it is time to ready Brody a book and head to bed! Hope everyone has a great week!
