A while back Katrina (Alex's mom) shared a story with me. She said that when Halliwell came over to the house, Alex (who is all boy) suggested some boy games to play. Halliwell (who is all girly girl) just turned her nose up and said "no". No matter what Alex suggested, the answer was always "no". To which Alex told his mom "That's why like playing with Mimi. She likes playing the same stuff as boys do."
This afternoon I witnessed it for myself. I picked up all three kids from school today. Mimi's class is ALWAYS the LAST class to come out. While we were waiting for Mimi, Alex tried playing with Halliwell but the girl would not give him the time of day. Finally Mimi came out and his face just lit up like a Christmas tree, that is until I told him that she had to go to gymnastic class and that it was not a playdate but that I would take him home on our way to the gym. He looked quite crest fallen. Poor little fella. After dropping Mimi off, I stopped by Alex's house to talk with Katrina for a bit and we made plans for a playdate for this coming Friday as they do not have school due to staff developement day. All is A-ok is his little world now.

SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER
While going over my hectic calendar the other day, I realized that school is almost over. Holy Cow! Mimi only has a couple of months till I get to have her home full time. What to do? What to do??? I guess now is the time to sign her up for her annual swimming lessons and then she wants to play soccer. Of course there will be library time too. Oh well I guess I "Better git to gitt'in" as my dad would say.
