That same week we went to the Circus! Billy and I can't remember if we went to the circus when we were younger... so this may have been a first for all five of us. Either way, it was fun. The kids sat in awe through the whole show. The cotton candy and popcorn helped. They loved the horses, camels, clowns, and dogs. Yes, there was a dog show.
Last week we had another week of firsts. I'm not sure if this first is something I should brag about. I will admit it's my fault that it happened too. We were at gymnastics getting ready to leave. I knew it'd be a bit before we'd get to have a potty break. I asked them who wants to go potty. Ben replied, "ummmm probably no." I smirked so then Will repeated the statement in a goofy voice to get the same response from me. (Always good for a laugh these two) So then I switched my tactic to one I knew would work and said, "Who wants to be first?!" It worked like a charm, they both ran to the potty. As they ran they stared to yell who was first and it was getting ugly as their voices rose higher with determination. I knew I needed a solution. I didn't want a scene. So... I taught them how to sword fight. They each stood at one side of the potty and took aim. It was working, both were happy they were first. I apologize in advance to anyone who takes them to the potty in the near future.
Speaking of Gymnastics... they are having a blast! The same day as the sword story, they got to do the big trampoline with the support rope. I am sure there is a proper term for it, but I don't know it. See pictures below!
Another first from last week, the boys joined Josie and I for their first Friday Funday at the Playhouse. It was Chicken Little. They did such a good job. I'm so excited they can start joining Josie and me on these fun outings!
Ben, Josie, and Will at the circus!
Ben the brave... first boy in the chair.
Will was ready after he knew what to do.
The videos are of Ben at Gymnastics. Will was the very first to go, so I wasn't ready to record yet!
