Kid swap- Henry.

Last weekend, James and his family came over to meet Georgie. James wanted to stay and play, so mama told him he could come back this week. So she set up a morning swap. James came over to our house and June went to theirs to play with Andy.

Mama thinks she got the easy side of the deal. For the most part, James and I get along and play well together. There was a little sulking because both boys were trying to assert themselves as the leader. But the promise of juice boxes and Fruit by the Foot helped clear up any animosity.

After snack time, we painted suncatchers and rounded out the morning with a few rounds of Candyland. I won the fastest round of Candyland ever. James was a good sport about getting sent back to the beginning of the board over and over, but mama had to have a talk to me about being a sore winner. It was hard for James to be a good sport when I kept yelling "I'm winning! I'm winning!"


June had a great time at her playdate too. Here's a little back story. This play guitar goes in and out of vogue at our house. Lately, it's a big deal to June. She spent an hour sitting on her chair and playing it the other night.

So Andy has a similar guitar that plays Backyardigans songs. Apparently, June was so enthralled with one song, "Hold on Tight," that she spent the entire morning playing it over and over again. Lucky for June, Miss Kerri also has a CD with 36 Backyardigans songs on it and she made a copy for us. Too bad we haven't heard the other 35 yet. Every time a new sing came on, June pleaded for "Hold on Tight again!" So mama set it on repeat and we've heard it about 200 times now. But it's worth it because every time it comes back on, June is still pumped to hear it again! Plus, now she also insists on dragging the step stool over by the stove so she can listen and dance. How cute is that?
