Your Prenatal Weekend
Dear Little George,
I think you might have had a good weekend - we sure did. Saturday morning I took Simon to an "Imagineering" class for some Mommy-Son bonding only to be thrown out after five minutes. It is a class for 3 to 6 year olds and, apparently, parents are not welcome. Simon had a good time without me and I had an hour and a half of "so what the heck do I do now?" which is a very rare circumstance.
After the class and lunch Simon and I did actually bond for an hour or so at indoor family swim. You probably got a little enjoyment out of that experience - defying gravity is always fun, no? And then, after swimming, we gathered together again for Lucie's second birthday. What fun! It was a teddy bear picnic dinner complete with crafts and a teddy bear hunt. Simon was the oldest of the kids (a first) so he put himself in charge of alerting the toddlers and adults when it was time to eat and when it was time for cake. I bet you liked the food and the cake, I did.
Sunday we drove to Half Moon Bay for Anushka's third birthday. The party was held at a pumpkin patch full of kid friendly activities [See Flickr Photos]. Simon and his friend, Juliana, wandered around for a couple of hours holding hands and taking turns being in charge. They fed some goats, rode a train, picked out some pumpkins, ate cake and pizza, and Simon thought about riding a pony. We didn't believe he would and, in the end, he chickened out; Simon loves cats and Winslow but that is the extent of his interest in the animal kingdom.
In preparation for your arrival this weekend...
- We met some nice people who are going to buy Simon's crib later this week.
- Daddy finished most of the painting in your room (we decided to add a star border later this week).
- Simon's new dresser arrives tomorrow which means the dresser/changing table will move to your room after the paint is dry.
Love,
Mama
