No, this is not an official holiday, but since it was Sunday, and the Dr. Seuss show was cancelled, I wanted to make it special.
They put a bouncy house right outside of church to make sure we don’t get into church on time. Seriously, what is that about!? You’re running to get to church on time and your kid sees the holy grail of bouncing. You say, sure, two minutes, but we are not doing it after. Ha. Two minutes in, I’m thinking, what have I done? I’ll never get her out of there. So, I finally use the “Tatum, be quick to listen if you want to go to the train park later” strategy. She stopped.
Looked at me.
Looked around, and then….
BINGO. Out!
And so we do end up going to the train park after and met our dear friends Amy and Mark and little Jack.
Tatum wanted to show off her Artie shirt and also give Jack a Daniel Tiger book. That train park never gets old and friendships never grow weary. We adore them.
Our LDE (Leap Day Eve) ended with a bunch of splashing and hosing things…especially mommy.
