Kangaroo Zoo

On Friday morning Mary, who has been exceptionally well behaved recently, completed ten repetitions each of all of her piano pieces. This is an amazing feat for her, because most of our practice sessions are spent redirecting attention. It is a miracle if we can repeat one piece ten times (correctly), much less all of them.

Even though it was thundering and raining outside, I took the kids to the Kangaroo Zoo bounce house as a reward. Ammon and Mary were in heaven.

Ammon running from bounce house to bounce house like he was late for an appointment or something.
These two were great buddies. They stuck together the whole time. Mary taught Ammon how to climb to the top of things, and she waited patiently for him to get to the top before sliding down with him. She also protected him! When someone bumped Ammon, Mary said, “Hey! That’s my baby brother!!”

Seeing my kids so happy made me SO happy. My heart was just full watching them run around panting with excitement and grinning ear to ear.

Clarissa was so sweet and just slept on my chest in the Solly the whole time.  I felt sorry for her because she woke up hungry right as it was time to go. It was a long ride to the parking lot of Mary’s kindergarten, where I finally nursed her.

Also, Abe brought home NO work this weekend! It was a much needed miracle.
