While we've been dealing with a
crisis, Kevin has been spending a lot of time with friends this week. Kevin spent the first evening with Austin and Stefanie. Kevin had a great time with Austin's train table (Austin's a Thomas nut!) and they all wore themselves out on the trampoline in the back yard. Austin and Stefanie's mommy filled them up with mango (now restocked at Costcto again, yay!).
Kevin spent the next afternoon and evening with Jaz and Em. Ryder and his mommy came to visit too! Jaz and Em's mommy decided to give Kevin a bath so Daddy could just put him to bed when they got home. Well, Jaz, Em and Ryder decided they wanted to take a bath too, so in they all went into the big master bedroom bathtub. The kids loved the jacuzzi jets and Ryder was determined to make Kevin laugh. This was accomplished by much head dunking and splashing. Jaz wanted to copy Ryder and Kevin and Em just sat back and enjoyed it all.
When he left Jaz and Em's that evening, Em was already in bed. Kevin gave Jaz a kiss and hug good bye, then went to a photo of Em to "give her a kiss good bye". How sweet is our boy?
Between MOMS Club, playgroup, his preschool, his little friend's preschool and our favourite play place, he has been to 5 Easter egg hunts this year! On the way to one of the hunts, Kevin and little friend Em demolished his basket of eggs in the back seat before they even got there. Em's mommy could hear them laughing and shouting "Egg!" over and over. When they got there, she discovered the remnants of the eggs all over the back. Em had been opening an egg and handing the contents of each egg over to Kevin each time they were chiming "Egg!". Not a single piece of candy was consumed though - they were happy just to open and scatter.
Jaz has very much enjoyed having easy-going Kevin around to play with. Unlike her little sister Em, Kevin lets her boss him around! What woman doesn't like a man who listens to her? And of course, a man who lets her dress him.
Jaz and Em's daddy captioned this photo "When in Rome". The hat sitting on Kevin's head at such a rakish angle belonged to Jaz and Em's grandma, whom Kevin also visited this week. She has been worried about Baby Alan and loved having a chance to cuddle with Kevin. While Jaz and Em's mommy took them to the playground at their grandma's building, Kevin hung out with her and sat on her lap for a nice visit.
Kevin spent last night at Jaz and Em's. He was reportedly bewildered by their family's musical bedtime routine, but very entertained. This morning, since her mommy could see he was awake, Jaz was allowed to go get Kevin up. She heard Jaz say over the monitor "Did you have sweet dreams Kevin?" and then “Did you dream about me because you love me?”. Adorable!
Kevin's adventures continue this morning with the final Easter egg hunt!
