Day #2708 (Sat., Jun. 3, 2017) – Mary Poppins
This afternoon was Katie’s dance recital. Bobby was sleeping so the decision was that I would take Katie as my wife saw the dress rehearsal yesterday. We planned to stay for the ballet afterward and then go to YoPop. Well, that was the plan.
When Katie and I arrived I got a seat in the front row so that I could take pictures. Katie sat in the rows ahead of me with the other dancers. My wife sent me a text message that Sophi, Marci, and Max were coming to see Katie dance. Katie was one of the “ponies” in the carousel.
After the dance was over I gave Katie the roses that I picked up for her at Trader Joe’s last night (see photo to the left). Soon after there was a bit of a whirlwind of activity. Sophie came running up to Katie and as I was grabbing the backpack Marci said let’s get out of here and they all went outside with me trying not to keep track of them. They wanted a playdate but I was not sure if Sophi should come over as Bobby was sleeping. I did say that they could join us at YoPop as that was the plan.
Well, as we were finishing up at YoPop my wife woke up from her nap and said that the girls could play outdoors. The goal was to not wake Bobby. Marci and Max dropped Sophi off and our house and said that they would come back and pick her up later. Well, Sophi is a really demanding girl who seems to have no boundaries when it comes to manners. That didn’t fly well in our house. After she left Katie was crying and saying that Sophi didn’t give her a chance to get some food at the refreshment table after the performance. Lesson learned…
Bobby is becoming extremely talkative and we can actually understand what he is trying to tell us (from time to time). He put a clear plastic bucket on his head…perhaps making a helmet?
