Yesterday, Rich got to experience Kindermusik with Lydia for the first time. It was lots of fun for him watching her interaction with other children her age and to participate in some of the activities. Yes, at times you do feel silly, but it is great remembering the child in yourself. Lydia would clap her hands, dance and sometimes just wander off without remembering she is in class. But, that is Lydia! She enjoyed showing off for her daddy!
And today, we all went to open gym at Texas Tumblers. Lillian couldn't wait to have daddy swing her high on the swing. She did it over and over again and poor daddy was tired by the time we made it home. And Lydia also bounced on the trampoline, bounced in the bounce house and swung on the bars and rings. She has quite a grip for a child her age! Rich got to meet my great friends- Jessica, Jack and Lily- and he enjoyed that too.
We all went out for a nice lunch with new and old friends! What a great time we are having so far and enjoying daddy being home. We even made it to the park and daddy got to see Lillian in action on the monkey bars and watch Lydia slide. Lydia loves the slide!!
Lillian keeps telling Rich she doesn't want him to go back to Iraq and she wants him to stay for a hundred days. This time is so happy for her and she is old enough to understand daddy has to leave again. Her heart is already broken and it breaks my heart for her. So, for now, we are trying to explain to enjoy every moment with daddy and not to worry about daddy leaving again. My poor Lillian!!! She is wise beyond her little 5 years!!
Enjoy the pictures and videos! Love you all!
