Poor Alex has been sick. That means that we take turns throughout the night multiple times, either getting him back to sleep or sleeping with him in the nursing chair. This morning AJ finished out a late morning wake up with Alex in his chair.
Brooke has been getting better and better at riding her big girl bike with her training wheels. We have even gone on some very very slow family rides around the neighborhood. Hopefully, as she gains skill and confidence we can all go on bike rides to the neighborhood park.
While Brooke was at school I took Alex on a Mommy Son Date to the Aquarium. This was his first time and since he has been pointing out ‘fisssh’ out of his books I thought he might enjoy seeing some real fish. At the end he even touched a crab in the touch tank!
I took Brooke out for Mommy Daughter Date. She asked to go to the art museum to we went to The Chrysler and then lunch. Brooke was most excited to draw and add her contribution to the wall. I added a companion piece to someone’s existing taco tuesday piece.
Oma and Opa came to visit this Christmas and we had fun with them while they were here. We played around in our new cul de sac including AJ skateboarding with the kids. We went to Northwest River Park for a hike. We went puddle jumping and sightseeing at the NBG. We had a chilly day at the beach, and Alex ate his fill of sand. The kids opened Christmas Eve gifts of pajamas and training chopsticks for Brooke because our family tradition is to have Chinese food on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day, everyone had fun opening presents and we all enjoyed a good meal.
