Monday started the last week of T-ball. It was scheduled to be done last week but due to weather it was extended. Cecilia had a tough time with Gideon not getting a snack. In her world Gideon and his teammates get a snack after T-Ball. It not happening got her quite upset and things went downhill from there. She lost her show and her story from Heather. Gideon watched Octonauts.
For stories Gideon had Heather read The Grinch and then fell asleep while I was reading him The Lorax.
As part of calming Cecilia I told her I could still read to her if we could get ready for bed. A warm washcloth infused with Lavender helped her calm down and feel better. We read four of the Tonka themed letter sound books this time.

Tuesday Cecilia picked Jake and the Neverland Pirates since we haven’t had a new Sheriff Callie in awhile.
They both shared stories, from me this time. Heather was watching Twirl so I told them I would read to them. Cecilia picked a couple of the Tonka word sound books she’s been into lately. Gideon picked 500 hats.
Mom ended getting to read Walter the Baker to Gideon and something about Feeding Hilda the Elephant from her Golden book compilation.

Wednesday Gideon picked Octonauts again. This was after the last day of T-ball. We brought treas and things went much more smoothly this time. Cecilia was still not to good at getting in the car and buckled, that seems to be her thing lately.
For story time they shared stories from Heather again. When she was done I read them Walter the Baker.

Thursday Cecilia picked Doc McStuffins. Kind of. She was running behind getting down from bath time and almost missed the beginning.
Gideon asked Heather to read 500 Hats today. And he didn’t even ask for it a second time! Cecilia kind of listened to that story, and then asked me to read Whisper In My Ear, or something like that, from the big Golden book. Gideon asked for Santa Duck. They listened to them together.

Friday Gideon picked Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
For story time I read them Horton Hatches an Egg followed by Cecilia picking Gertrude McFuzz.
When Heather got home the kids were still up and she read Gideon two of the Tonka letter sound books and Cecilia was up playing and waiting to get Llama Llama Mad at Momma after Ho Ho Tucker.

Saturday the kids did a pretty good job helping to clean the house in the morning. After church Cecilia wanted Doc McStuffins. We only had two short ones instead of the usual single double feature, but that was OK.
Cecilia tried to come into Gideon’s room and started going through his stuff, threatening to undo the cleaning we worked so hard on. It caused problems, but I kicked her out. She eventually settled down and had Heather read Mulberry street followed by me reading her Horton Hatched an Egg.
Gideon had me read Yertle the Turtle followed by Heather reading him Mulberry Street.

Sunday the kids each got some time with just one parent. Heather took Gideon to the Children’s Museum while Cecilia and I went to a new to us park, Lion’s park in Coon Rapids. The kids got to choose their activity, and then after individual lunches we met up at Coon Rapids Showplace to see the new Planes movie. It wasn’t available anywhere in the area in 3D still, so it was the regular rendition. After some family America’s got talent time (We’re still watching Judgement week. Yep, that far behind.) Gideon picked Chuggington for a change of pace.
Story time saw Heather reading Pirate Fairy to both kids while I read Gideon Grinch Stole Christmas and Cecilia Horton Hatches an Egg.
