We had fun, but even that didn't tire her out enough for anything resembling a nap. ugh!
I've been checking off our excursions from the book from Oma and doing reasonably well. Today, I took the kids to THE Krispy Kreme doughnut factory for an after-school, after-tennis snack. Boy, did that backfire!! Jonathan stubbornly picked a strawberry jelly-filled doughnut and then broke down into tears when he discovered -- after I repeatedly told him -- it had jelly inside. Elise licked off all the fall sprinkles from her's and offered the doughnut to J as a consolation (which I thought was really sweet), and he fell further into his funk. Golly, try to do something different/fun, and see what happens?! gesh. I talked to him at home about needing to try new things and maybe liking them... and about listening to me (since I knew he didn't like jelly doughnuts)...and about how ridiculous this whole thing really was.
Finally, a class mom/pro-photog shared this shot of the kids from her son's b'day back in September:
