Since when is 9 o’clock dreadfully late? I’m just tired and sore all over today, for no real reason.
JediBoy is upstairs with PisecoDad, having his bedtime stories. They’ve been reading from the Star Wars New Essential Guide to Characters at bedtime, so every morning I’m treated to facts like, “Hey, Mom, did you know that Chewbacca got married to a woman wookie, and they had a son named…“
It was a very nice spring day here. We spent a long time at a nearby playground, and then even longer exploring the short span of stream that runs next to it. JediBoy, of course, likes to chuck rocks and sticks into the stream. He’s also fond of filling all of our pockets with pretty rocks and looking for fossils.
We unwrapped half a shoebox full of broken crayon bits to make new crayons, hopefully tomorrow. He’s forever wanting to unwrap and break crayons when we’re out at a restaurant, so this was theraputic for him - keep unwrapping them! Keep breaking them! Until the fun wore off.
JediBoy spent a long time today on Brain Pop Jr., which shows animated, educational movies on a variety of topics. He likes the ones about Ancient China, a Loose Tooth, Sink or Float… etc.
The local rec department’s Kids’ Night Out league met tonight - the kids played kickball, which he enjoys, but he’s been disappointed that there’s no real effort at team-building or friend-making there. He got to be such good buddies with the kids on his soccer team and he was hoping that would happen here.
Then a late-night (argh, it was 7:45. How is that late?) stop at the store to print some of the pictures of our girl. It was apparently UU night at the store, since we ran into not one but two other UU moms there.
Now I’m off to bed. I can’t stand it!
