Monday night was Cecilia’s turn to pick. Gideon had a rough time for a bit when he got home from school, but seemed more or less fine after a little time by himself waiting for dinner. Cecilia picked Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
Cecilia wanted her current favorite of Richard Scarry from me. I’m pretty sure Heather read her the same.
Gideon had Heather read him The Sailor Dog and then asked me to read him Duck on a Bike. At first he asked me to read The Sailor Dog, but I asked if he was sure since he just had it read to him.

Tuesday the kids took their showers while I finished making dinner since I got home later than normal. Gideon picked Handy Manny.
Cecilia had both Heather and I read her new Sophia the First book. It’s about a tea party.
Gideon started with his new Learning Steps (2) book starring the Ninja Turtles. It was about them leaving the sewers for the first time, saving April, and eating pizza. I’m not sure where his fascination with the Ninja Turtles came from, but it’s there.

Wednesday was a bit of a rough day. Gideon had his worst day in regards to certain stinky problems in a long time. The kids didn’t want to eat their dinner at all, a relatively bland chicken tortilla soup with cheese and sour cream. Cecilia picked Handy Manny for a show.
Cecilia didn’t get a story from Heather. She wanted to borrow Gideon’s new Ninja Turtles book, but he said he wasn’t ready to share it. She threw a fit and wouldn’t pick a different story.
Gideon appears to have gotten Berenstain Bears Easter from Heather and I read him Walter the Baker. When I went to try seeing if Cecilia wanted something he finally told her she could borrow the Ninja Turtles book.

Thursday we tried a new church small group for the first time. As a side effect the kids didn’t get a show, we didn’t get home until 8:15 or so. We did still get stories though.
Cecilia had me read her the new Sophia book. Not sure about what Heather read her, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same.
Gideon had me read him the Berenstain Bears Easter and Heather read him Walter the Baker.
Friday I decided it was too cold and windy to stop at a park on the way home. It ended up being a bit of a slow night. Gideon wanted a Halloween Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Luckily we had two saved.
Cecilia was a bit of a pickle for storytime tonight. It was her Sophia book again, but halfway through she started having me change the names to match her friends from school. Heather had to deal with that the whole time though.
Gideon had his TMNT Pizza Party book from Heather. For me he asked Cecilia if he could borrow her Cupcake Fairy book. She said yes so that’s what I read him.

Saturday we got to see a fire truck at Home Depot when we went for the first Saturday kids workshop. We also managed two short park trips and a sit-down restaurant dinner. Cecilia wanted a Halloween Jake and the Neverland Pirates. (Sound familiar?) No stories tonight though. We got home a little too late.

Sunday was Halloween costume day. Really it wasn’t, but by the end it seemed like it was. 9 Target stores later and we still need to return two bags to the store, but I digress. Gideon has all the components of his Leonardo costume and the last piece of Cecilia’s Elsa costume should get here Wednesday. To cap the night off Gideon picked Octonauts.
Cecilia continued her Princess Sophia story track for Heather, but I got to read Olivia instead.
For Gideon I got the short one today with Gideon’s battle from the very beaten up first bible story book he had. Heather started reading something out of Dr Suess, but Gideon admitted he was falling asleep so they didn’t finish it.
