A Tale of Woe

Right now we are in the blissful, wonderful hours of the day that I like to refer to as heaven on earth the napping hours.




Except there is a problem.




One of the hellions children is awake. As in, he has decided against taking a nap today. Cue sobbing from me, while cowering in the corner. Nap time is a lot less blissful when not all children are asleep during it. However we have reached somewhat of a compromise. He is upstairs in his room being (mostly) quiet, and I am pretending that he really is sleeping. I think that in the end we are both coming out ahead. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.

Funky Mama

Yesterday we went to Wonderscope, which I lovingly refer to as the happiest place on earth. Garrett (and Bennett if he could talk) would most certainly go there every day. And, if I were not opposed to doing the same thing over and over and over again until I completely lost my mind, would probably let them. Because even I have to admit, Wonderscope is a great time.

It is a children's 'museum' of sorts that has several different rooms that kids can pretend to be things (like in one room they have a grocery store, a bank, and a pizza shop) or they can learn different things (they have two rooms filled with golf balls and all sorts of different tracts, where they have all these physics laws posted near them - which I suspect mostly serve to remind the adults the things that they tried so hard to forget from their schooling days).

In addition to loving Wonderscope, one of the things that we also adore is Funky Mama. She is not only hilarious and fantastic with the kids, she has music that doesn't make me want to drive over a cliff after hearing it for the umpteenth time. So the fact that yesterday they had a Funky Mama concert at Wonderscope was like a little slice of heaven. For all of us.

And not only did she have a concert at Wonderscope, but Garrett got to play an instrument with her. I thought he might explode he was so pleased with himself. He got to play the clave. Which means that he got to go up and bang two sticks together. But he raised his hand, and then when asked, told her his name, and then stayed up and banged his sticks...I mean played his instrument.

See?



And, because it was such a special day - the day that Garrett acted like a REAL PERSON when someone was talking to him - we have a video too!
