One on One time

Someone asked me on Friday how many kids I would like now.  Before I was a mother I wanted six.  When I think about how many kids I want, I think of riding attractions at an amusement park.  Do I want an even number so everyone has a partner.  Or do I want an odd number so I sit out and take pictures and hold all of our clutter. haha I know, its weird.  I think the big guy upstairs gets to choose.  

Most parents freak out at three kids, when they are out numbered.  I'm not worried about being out numbered because every day I'm out numbered. Now that I'm a mother, I'm realizing its hard to give enough attention to each kid separetly.  So Cole and I try to do one on one time with each kid.  More with Kensington because Remi is still little young.

So Friday night, I took Kensington to a play with my sister and her two kids.  Yes, it wasn't full one on one time with her but we had seats away from my sister so I did get some.  We saw the play Annie Jr. at Stages Theatre in Hopkins.  I have never been there before and I was impressed.  It lasted about an hour and ten minutes and was very entertaining for her.  I chose to have her sit in my lap instead of buying her her own seat so she could see better.  They do have little booster seats for little ones to sit one.  Once the scenes would end, everyone clapped and she would ask loudly, is it over?



After the show all the girls wanted the kids signatures. How cute is that?

Once we got through the long autograph line we walked down main street to Cold Stone for a little treat.  Big mistake but at the time it was a great idea.  Kensington was having a melt down in the store because her mother wouldn't let her get the pink ice cream.  I was trying to explain that it was strawberry ice cream and she's allergic to it.  That just flew over her head.  She had another melt down once the sugar hit her.  We were about an hour and a half past her bed time so I buckled her up and home we went.  


She looks so innocent doesn't she?




On Sunday, Kensington wanted Daddy to take her to Finding Dory.  We have been talking about this movie for awhile now and today was the day she wanted to go.  We even rented Finding Dory at the library.  I was kind of bummed she didn't want me to take her because I wanted to see this movie, but I'm sure I will buy it once it comes out.  Daddy took her to her first movie so she may think daddy can only take her to the movies.  Cute little bond they are building.  

I have to remind Cole to take this picture with the movie billboard behind her. 
What are those called?

Really Cole?  Big enough? Now I truly see why she enjoys her daddy taking her to the movies.


Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.
