Mother's Day

What a wonderful Mother's Day. There was no breakfast in bed, but Alex and I went to Music class, and he sang a little song to me...something like la,da,laa, da, and he played a little drum for me, too. That made up for having to make my own breakfast.

Then we went on the kite excursion that I mentioned last week. Alex loved the kite...for about 5 minutes. As expected. He was very interested in the motorcycles that kept driving by, the nearby dog, and the helicopters that flew overhead. We also had a picnic. That was actually much more fun that a nice brunch. Alex grazed, which is how he prefers to eat anyway, and all the food that fell landed in the grass....no clean-up....it was a great meal.

At one point, Alex accidently let go of the kite. It actually got stuck in the parachute of a guy who was doing "parachute ground exercises" down the field (who knew there were ground exercises for parachuting?). Well, after the initial crying, he realized that Dan could get the kite back, and we couldn't trust him anymore. He let it go again, and this time, he actually bent over laughing and slapped his knees...where did he get that? It was hilarious, but Dan and I are sure that we don't ever do that!

He was banned from holding the kite by himself, but continued to enjoy watching it.

Overall a fun day.



Here are some pictures of the fun. Alex and Daddy had a great time with the kite!
