Bohdin reading to Nyla and Cora. It's not something he does very often. In the picture Cora is wearing a Minnie pajama shirt that I found at the consignment store. It is her new favorite shirt. She wore it several days in a row this week, only taking it off for a bath. After the bath she would put it back on.
October must be bubble bath month because I have a bubble bath picture from a previous October also. This year Cora has joined a few times but she doesn't love it. The bathtub is deep and when she sits in so many bubbles they go in her mouth. Cora likes taking baths with Nyla in the little bathtub. Earlier tonight they were playing duckies in there and Nyla was brushing Cora's hair with a toothbrush.
I took Bohdin to gymnastics on Monday. I wasn't sure how he would react because he was having a bad day. The first thing he asked when he came out was when he could do it again. He loved it. Nyla's class is directly afterward. I spent a lot of time trying to keep Cora out of there. She wanted to be with Bohdin during his class and Nyla during her class. Since they love it so much we'll keep doing it up until we move.
We've had some warm days in the low 80s this week and I told the kids to go outside and enjoy it. On Tuesday they played in the sprinkler. They came up with a game that had them hugging Bohdin before each round and then touching the sprinkler with more water coming out each round.
Bohdin's bread this week was potato rosemary.
Nyla likes to go outside and watch the girls across the street get off the bus with the hope that they will invite her over. Her plan has been working and she has played with them a lot the past two weeks. Everything seems to be going okay. On Wednesday Nyla took out her backpack and blanket to wait under her favorite tree which is actually in the neighbor's yard.
Wednesday we had Lego League at our house. Because the weather was so nice we had it outside around the fire. Afterward they roasted marshmallows. Nyla had fun playing with S-. They get on well despite the 4.5 year age difference. S- wants Nyla's new address so she can write to her after our move. Bohdin spent a long time talking with P- about Star Wars Clone Wars. They both enjoy Star Wars.
Right now Nyla is playing fetch with Cora. She just told her "You're not a girl. You're a dog." She's instructing her to pant, crawl around, and place the ball at her feet. When Cora brings the object back in her mouth Nyla calls Cora "a good girl" in the same voice one would use with a dog. Now Cora is barking. Kids come up with crazy games.
