Today was not the first time Dennis attended a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese, but it WAS the first time that I had to attend! Clearly, I love children. I spend hours with them every week, on purpose even. Children at Chuck E Cheese are not at their best. And there are HOARDS of them packed into every square inch of the place, fighting for turns to do the attractions and games. Wow! And Dennis had such a wonderful time that he's asked for a party there himself (not going to happen). It was too loud in there to even carry on one word conversations. I had to bribe him with a trip to the Lego store so we could leave without tears. Zoe and family met us at the Lego store and we took the kids afterward to let them wear themselves out on the McDonald's playground. Dennis had an awesome day. I'm almost glad I didn't feel well. I was too tired to care about being sandwiched in amongst what Dennis said were "two hundred thousand kids" at Chuck E Cheese. I've been sick for so long,and I do wish so hard for wellness. My eye is still kind of gnarly looking, bright red (but not oozing anything today, hooray!), and I'm hoping this might be the end of the pinkeye relapse. Dennis started sniffling and sneezing today, so there's no telling what might be coming next.
He and Grace had a temporary falling out. He had told me "Grace said she isn't my girlfriend anymore because I can't hula hoop" but apparently things are okay again because he says she's his girlfriend again. I don't think he's her only boyfriend, though. And he has Zoe and Chloe in his own repertoire.
Tonight he told me he wants to go to our house tomorrow. Me, too. That's where we are at the moment and where we plan to be all night. He says "tonight we are staying in this hotel room, but tomorrow we will go to our real home." I asked him where our real home is and he replied "in the trees!". I loved this answer! I'd love to live in a tree house!
I'm adding his school picture, which I just love!
