Monday night Gideon chose Chuggington at first. I told him we didn’t have any new ones with the Chug Patrol (true) and suggested something else, so we ended up watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
I read stories to the kids, but told them they had to be short ones because my throat hurt. Truth be told I was home sick and had a rough day. I don’t remember what I read them, or Heather read them. I think I read Cecilia some of the Tonka sounds books, and Heather also read them to her. Gideon picked something from the big Golden book for me to read, but I’m not sure what Heather read him.
Tuesday was a Huisinga day. We got back here around 7:45 and they started Cecilia’s pick of Little Einsteins about 10 minutes later. It was one with no “wait.” No stories because it was so late and I am still barely recovered.
Wednesday Grandpa Nelson got to hang out with the kids for a bit while Heather and I went to parent night for Kindergarten. Heather appears to be coming down with whatever I had, so she let the kids watch a second show instead of getting stories while I brought Brad home and ran an errand on the way home. Of course, Cecilia was still up when I got home.
Thursday Gideon got to visit his new Kindergarten school. He seems to be getting more nervous about the whole thing as it gets closer, understandably. Cecilia got to hang out with Grandma Nelson while we took Gideon so it could be Gideon’s own special time. After we got home we watched America’s Got Talent a little while we had some pizza with Grandma. Then a Cecilia who came down with a fever picked Jake and the Neverland Pirates for a show.
Gideon heard Caps for sale from Heather and Duck on a Bike from me. Cecilia got the Giraffes Can’t Dance from Gideon’s room instead of the one from hers for Heather and then I read her three of the Tonka letter sound books.
Friday night Gideon choose to watch Chuggington. Of course we had a moment of sadness due to there not being any with Chug Patrol. (Season 4).
Gideon asked me to read Llama Llama Red Pajama. I’m not sure what he had Grandpa read him. Cecilia got a story from Heather and Grandma, but other than knowing she had the Tonka letter sounds at some point I’m not sure what she had.
Saturday was our second fair day this year. This is the second year that Heather’s parents have joined us for it and I think they enjoyed it. It was a little more stressful this year than last I think, but we did alright when all is said and done. We watched part of Sid the Science Kid in the car and finished it at home right before bed. No stories or other shows or “waits” tonight. It was late.
Sunday we weren’t sure Cecilia would be joining us. She had a rough dinner time and cried herself to an exhausted sleep at 5:30. She did end up waking up a little over an hour later to eat and pick Doc McStuffins.
Stories were short today, only one because it was so late. Cecilia had Grandpa read something to her and Gideon had me and Grandpa split reading the story of the serpent from his story bible.
