Schools, including preschools, were closed for Veteran's Day last week, but of course none of us parents had the day off. I decided to take advantage of many hours of sick time that I have accrued at work and take the day off to take care of kids. Since I was going to be home with the kids I offered to also watch Sadie and Jack's pal, Tatum.
We spent the morning baking cookies and riding tricycles and other contraptions on wheels. It's so much fun to watch the kids emerging friendship with Tatum. They've all known each other since birth, but it's really only in the last 6 months that they've come to enjoy playing together. And, boy, do they enjoy playing together now. The kids get super-excited when we have a date with Tatum. On Veteran's Day Jack could not stop hugging and kissing Tatum when she arrived. I had to finally have a talk with him about giving girls some personal space.
We followed up the morning with our weekly Tatum date at the Farmer's Market. You couldn't ask for a nicer Veteran's Day!
