Assuming the position

Buddy had a four day weekend but we didn't have any big plans. He's been so busy at work that he's missed out on some of the stuff here. Friday, Nyla pooped and called out for someone to wipe her butt. Buddy walked in the bathroom to see Nyla bent over with her hands on a stool. He laughed and asked is she was assuming the position. She picked this up from Bohdin who likes to put his hands on the floor when bending over.

We went to N-'s fifth birthday party Thursday evening. It prompted Bohdin to make his birthday list. Initially the list was way too long but he narrowed down his initial list to about five. It has already undergone one revision. Last week there was a toy that Bohdin really wanted and couldn't wait for. He's going to have to wait and I helped him figure out how many weeks of allowance he would need to buy it. He sort of felt better after that but I think that's because he doesn't have a strong sense of time. Ten weeks is almost to his birthday. Bohdin was able to see the Playmobil pyramid at ToysRUs and is in love. It was on his birthday list already but now he's even more excited about it. He's been talking about all of the ways he is going to play with it.




We planned to go to the Maryland Renaissance Festival on Saturday but both the kids were tired that day. Bohdin actually fell asleep at 4pm and slept until 7:30 the next morning. He woke up briefly at 10 for a snack. Sunday he was way more refreshed so we headed to the fairgrounds which are really close. We live closer to the fairgrounds than Target or the mall. The first thing Bohdin saw was a magician who was performing tricks for a group of kids. He went over and watched for a while eventually getting close to the table that was being used. After we had been there for some time the magician used Bohdin for a trick. He put one red foam ball in Bohdin's hand and when he opened his hand there were two balls. This was Bohdin's favorite moment of the fair. Next we stopped at the fight school performance which was a history of weapons. Bohdin tolerated it and Nyla hated it. I left Buddy and took the kids to get some food. We saw a kids pirate show and then walked around a bit more. The last thing we saw was a bit of the archery demonstration. We would have liked to see the whole thing but Nyla was tired and done. Bohdin said he liked everything but the elephant (there were elephant rides there). We might go back to one in a few years when the kids are older. This would be a great spot for a teenage boy because I saw a tremendous amount of breasts, more than I've ever seen before and I've been to Miami beach.
