we had a fun day today!!! it started with uncle paddy coming over at 7:30am to visit! the kids had a great time showing him their toys and their favorite movie at the moment, hop. we went to the gym, and then went for a picnic with our friends, the warners!! malloy was so excited to spend some time with titus! it's been way too long! the kids had a blast playing together! rex was so cute at the end - he gave adalyn a hug and then went in for a kiss. little love bug! the kids went right down for nap this afternoon, no problems at all! this afternoon, we went for a family walk and ended up at the park! the kids LOVE to run around and go down slides. malloy loves to play restaurant at this park. she takes our order and makes us our food out of wood chips. rex was copying everything that she was doing and coming over to take our orders, too. we had so much fun that we lost track of time and had to go home to have fajitas, chips and guacamole to celebrate cinco de mayo, tonight -yum! malloy told me that she liked her dinner - i love to hear that!!
for bedtime, we tried something new. the kids watched a little bit of tv after dinner and then we got pajamas on. we brushed teeth and then i let malloy choose between playing classroom or reading some books. she chose books, so we read 4 books in bed. i think this helped her to wind down. we talked about what a fun day we had today and how much fun we'll have tomorrow. i also emphasized how HAPPY mommy and daddy were when she went to sleep for nap without yelling. so far, i haven't heard a peep and it's been an hour. hopefully i didn't just jinx anything!!!
