The common sense of children

We went to the Skirball museum for a Lego Day, luckily there were a few things to do, one of my friends and fabulous child entertainers was performing there, Doda Mollie, it was so much fun.  The Jewish Federation was actually having its Super Sunday Fundraiser, and her whole theme was about Tzedaka, charitable giving.

My friend joined me and we just enjoyed each others company, but when we finally made it to the Lego area, it was so not for our age kids who range from almost 2 to about 5 1/2.  My brother's son, who is 6 1/2 would have adored it, he is so into Legos and he is into the tiny little pieces that he could instantly tell which goes together with which set.  My oldest boy likes it but is not enamored with it, so I think they should have said it was for 6 years old and up.  They called it for all ages, they had a toddler room, which is really for babies that don't want to run out of there, all of our kids could only last there at most 15 minutes.  Lucky for me they had an area with water, it was like mist, which would be great for a hot day, but we were in sweaters, and the last thing I need is someone catching a cold.  My five year old listened the first few times I said not to go, and then he went for it, and we were actually all just done, and went home.

This is my big boy, he is taller than most six year olds, a big helper with his siblings, and sometimes gets me out of a jam

My baby fell asleep as soon as we got in the car and we took another route home and passed by one of my favorite parks, so I decided to just hang with the sleeping baby and let my other two run around for a bit. They both ran to the car after about 10 minutes needing to go number two.  I felt panicked, the bathroom was on the other side of the park, my baby was sleeping in the car, didn't want to wake him up.  My five year old saved the day by suggesting we go home and poop, and my daughter was OK with that.  Thank God we were close, now we are all home, just had some hot dogs for lunch, everyone is relaxing.  During the week they are in school all day, so I am happy we had our activity, but its also good to just hang at home for the rest of the day, recharge for the week.

I have a community class tonight, and now I would really like to take a nap myself.  Hopefully my husband will be home soon and I can do just that.

Happy Sunday,
