both Garrett and Connor love going over to Nana and PawPaws house. I think it’s because they can eat whatever they want but they say it’s to play with them and the toys over there. Today Garrett came home and asked to call over to see if he could go over to play. As he dialed (Connor told him the phone number because he wanted to go too) then put the phone up to his ear, I heard him sigh heavily. As I looked over I saw him disappointed. “It’s busy. Where could they possibly be?” Remember, he’s only 5 so when I hear words like possibly, I get a big smile!!
Connor wanted to go to the PTA meeting with me tonight. He likes to play with the other children who come because their parents make them. Tonight they got a little too crazy and one of the other parents hollered and made them come in and sit in separate corners reading a book. I had NO idea that was happening, which is a little embarrassing since I was sitting the next table over. When we were leaving and Connor was telling me the story I mentioned how he could have gotten up to come to tell me. He said the lady wouldn’t let him. I assured him that he can always, no matter what, come find me no matter what any adult says.
A mom who didn’t have a child there called me and asked if I was upset about what happened. I thought about it and said, “nope. when he told me my response to Connor was, I guess you’ll never say I’m the worst mom ever anymore!”
Evan helped me out today. Jeff came home feeling blah since we have had so much rain lately. That effects my man. So, I pulled out a big piece of poster board and asked Evan if he would draw and color a sun so dad can cheer up. Once I answered that he could put a face in the middle of the sun he was willing, as long as he could take a break for his new wii baseball addiction. The sun looks great.
