Abby's 1st Recital and a Movie with Sean

this is the only one I could get of her face

Sean was full with random saying and questions, as usual, when he woke up this morning. He told me that Abby was going to dance today and I told him, "yes". He told me that his hair needs cut again because "the lady didn't get it all". He remembers from another day, when I told him that. I love each morning waiting to hear what he has to tell me.

Sean did great at Abby's recital. Kenny and I were very proud that he sat still on our laps for about an hour. He clapped at the end of each song. Abby did great, too! Kenny and I were proud godparents!!

Sean and Kenny left after her second dance, so they could both nap (Kenny worked very late last night) and I went with Maw Maw and Dukie to visit with Abby and give her some presents.

We had never finished Wall-E and Sean wanted to watch it, so we popped some popcorn and watched the rest of the movie. It felt so good to curl up next to my little boy and answer his questions and watch his reactions. He is a great movie partner :)

Sean was so good at the recital that Kenny let him turn the lights on his police car before he left for work tonight. Sean loved it!

Sean and I just came from playing outside and I'm now getting ready to read him a story.

Curiosity

cutie patootie
Sean had school today and I found out that he was really good, so he got rewarded with a car wash. Yes, we just had a wash yesterday, so my car is very clean! On the way home, he told me, "mommy, I had fun today". It's so good to hear him tell me that he is enjoying himself.


Nap time was cut short by very loud thunder. Sean has never liked the sound of thunder and woke up in tears. So, after some comforting and a snack, he was ready to play.


I usually have an arsenal of rainy day activities, but we had already played with Play-doh and board games last night, so he decided to play with his train table. He always says, "mommy, you wanna play with me?". I played a bit with him and then started to cook dinner and I was pleasantly surprised to see him playing with his cars and trains all by himself. Sean rarely entertains himself, so this is a new step.


After playing, I asked if he wanted to watch a movie, and as I predicted, he chose "Cars". I love this movie, too. This time instead of just watching the movie, he asked me questions. "What is Lightening McQueen doing?", "why did those tires come off?", "who is that?". He is becoming very inquisitive which I love!! Now, we're waiting for Kenny to get home from work, so we can play some more games!!
