Cousin Sleepover

April 18, 2019 No Comments

Toni and Thomas arrived today with Ankong and Ama. After Janie came home from school, we all walked to pick up Peanut from his school.

On the way home, they picked flowers and followed Janie back to the playground.

They spent the rest of the warm afternoon outside with sidewalk chalk, spray bottles, balls, and trucks.

Close to bedtime, they played MagnaTiles inside.

When it was time for bed, Toni decided to sleep on the floor next to Janie while Thomas and Toni chose the beds.

The girls fell asleep rather qucikly but it took the boys much longer. They didn’t settle down until after 10pm and Peanut ended up sleeping on the floor too.

Saturday started at Maya’s house for her birthday party. She invited everyone in the Panda class so Peanut got to play with two old pals from their Butterfly class (last year’s class). While all the girls participated in the gymnastics class, he played cars with Franklin and Andersen.

After the party, Peanut rested on the sofa with Dada and watched one of the Avengers movies. That’s where he learned about Ironman and was so excited every time he appeared on in a scene.

After his nap, all the kids came out to play, including Ethan! They played with the remote-controlled car and Janie played on the swings with Gavin.

Yai plays all kinds of games with Janie when Mama is away. This was caught on the webcam at home while Mama was on her way home from LA.

New Game

Janie made up a new game with her brother today. I’m still not sure how it works but it looks like a combination of soccer and basketball.

Checkers

Before bed, Janie tried to teach Peanut how to play checkers. It started out well but she became frustrated when Peanut couldn’t get the rules right. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Jeep Rides!!

March 24, 2019 No Comments

With the sun out and warmer temps, the neighborhood kids have been coming outside again. Ellie and Guiliano brought out their jeep and shared with Janie and Peanut. They had so much fun taking it around the playground.

We also made good use of our badminton set!

Babysitting

It’s Auntie Eleen’s birthday so we offered to take Zoe and Maya for the afternoon. It later turned out to be a big kid party at Uncle Ian’s house with Dada and Uncle Ian doing all the cooking.
