Today was the first Papa-Moose-time. The hubs decided he wanted to start doing this with the kids, so we picked one day a month for each kid. Today was Moose's turn. So after dinner, they went over to the mall (for those who know, it doesn't deserve the name mall) and walked around. He loves seeing the decorations and whatnot for Christmas. Then the hubs took him to the candy store and let him pick something out. They also (Moose was so jazzed) got to get a gumball from one of those big gumball machines that probably has a big slide on the bottom half so you can watch your gumball go down. They BOTH got blue ones! :)
So me and Monkey hung out at home together. She chose to take a bath, but that ended as soon as she pooped in the tub. (Yes, she still does this rather often. And she stares and freaks out, pointing at it until we remedy the situation.) Then we did puzzles, played ball, organized shapes, and played with her pop-up animal toy. All in all a bonding experience, I'm sure. :)
In other news today, Monkey was running through the house with her paci in her mouth, fell over, and it bonked her nose. She got her first bloody nose. At first I wasn't sure exactly how to handle it since she wouldn't let me pinch it. (That's what adults do. I was really hoping it would work for her too.) So I did my best to semi-pinch it and clean it up. Fortunately, it didn't bleed long. But Moose was a doll and gave her some of his Halloween candy to sweeten the deal since "she was so brave". (That's what he told the hubs.)
Then after our dates with the kids, we all cleaned the bathroom. Ahh, the family bonding. :)
