On Friday, I took Henry to the dentist. His behavior has been a challenge lately and I was a little worried about how he would be. Of course, he was an angel at the dentist and could not have been more charming. We had people coming in the room just to talk to him. Afterward, I told him we could celebrate his good behavior and we stopped for a snack on the way home.
On Saturday I got grocery shopping done early in the morning, and then my parents came. We had a good day with them, and got to have strawberry shortcake with garden strawberries after dinner. I also got to go to the library by myself, and got Prodigal Summer (Kingsolver) and Day After Night (Diamant). I've started Prodigal Summer and like it.
Chris was planning to play golf on Sunday morning, but it poured overnight and into the morning so he cancelled that. We got almost three inches of rain in less than twelve hours. Chris ended up taking the kids to Dunkin Donuts and Target, and I made a quick trip to my office to hand in my billing. The kids ended up very busy playing together for a lot of the day today. It was great! They used a ridiculous amount of tape, taping paper together and making "presents" for Daddy. They put on a dance show, and spent quite a bit of time playing in their rooms. I love the days when they get along well.
Chris spent a few hours working on rebuilding a kitchen cabinet. I think we're looking at months (or years?) of painfully slow kitchen renovation. The kids "helped" for a short time before I coaxed them to play upstairs.
Celia has been playing more with dolls lately. It's adorable. She talks to them and takes care of them, pretends to bring them places, and likes to take her baby with us on walks or when we go out. She spent a lot of today with her new panda. It's one of the Real Live Pets, which I must say are pretty neat.
Tomorrow is Celia's last day of kindergarten. I can't believe it.
