So, sometimes the kids have a hard time zippin’ it up for the night and going to sleep…they talk and talk and giggle and toot. So, in an attempt to fix this, I started running a “fake sleeping contest.” They didn’t actually have to sleep, they just had to pretend to sleep. How it worked was, if you were not talking, you were fake sleeping, so the first one to stop talking was the winner for the night.
As it turned out, Cameron was the big winner! And, the prize was a “date” with mommy (I was so touched that this was the grand prize that everybody wanted!).
The Fake Sleeping Contest ended quite a while ago, but Cameron and I never found time to have our date…until holiday break, that is!
We spent some time shopping for some new long-sleeved shirts for her and then went to Petroglyph to paint. Lunch was part of the plan, too, but she chose to have Tom, Chloe and Dylan meet us at Shun Feng so that they wouldn’t feel left out or bad (everyone likes Shun Thing!).
Overall, we had a great time. Dylan’s day is up next…(and, of course, we are already several weeks delayed in getting to it!).
