Liam started Kindergym last week and it will be Wednesday morns for the rest of the summer. It is a sweet class incorporating ball games, songs, gymnastics and how to wait your turn, etc. I planned to take my own workout class during this time, but after peeking in, I found myself glued to the glass, watching from afar for the entire 45 min class. It was the cutest dang thing to see little L (he is the tiniest of the 2.5-3.5 year bunch--and somehow the tannest) doing everything he is told and loving it all. He calls it "my class!" What a pleasant surprise for my little big man.
Worst Part of the Day-
Something is going on with the kidlets and the bedtime. Long gone are my hopes for 7pm. Tonight they were so wound up and refused to listen or lay down or close eyes or stay in rooms...this was after a 6am wake up, playing at the Y, to the sitter's for a spell and a M.U. BBQ with games and slides and bouncy house madness...WTF???
They finally gave in to Mr. Sandman about 10pm.
Funny Kid Quotes:
After I collected the kiddies from the sitter at 4:45, I knew I had to kill about an hour before meeting my mom on M.U.'s campus for this b-ball rally BBQ. I thought since the kiddies were all buckled up (and it was 90 + degrees) we would take a spin down to the lakefront and see what was happening at the beach. The beach was of course packed to the gills (duh!) so I kept driving and pointing out sights. Liam was super into it all as we passed the marina ("Look at all the boats!!"), the art museum ("Look at that!"), lake park ("This is a scary forest..."), and the gorgeously huge lark park homes (Liam shouted at a Victorian, "Look, a real castle!!") I thought it was a pretty cool (in the comforts of the AC) tour myself until Scarlet said, "Are you trying to trick us, Mom? Why are we exploring Milwaukee when you said we're going to a barbeque??" Can't fool her.

We're having bedtime issues too - it's just so DERN light out! Just yesterday I said to Erik "either the kids are going to be the only Americans NOT on Ambien as I'm giving them just excellent (militant) sleep routines. OR there is going to be some major therapy because I'm THREATENING them in order to get them to go to sleep (with Quinn it's "I'll shut your door." And with Wes it's "I take away the frog.")
