When a kid has 2 moms...

and there is a class project to build a box car. (a car, out of a box, or 2 and some paper plates, tinfoil, paint and a foam noodle)
and the kindergartener who has been given the project says she wants a convertible bug.

Now the wheels aren't normally all bent under...because you are suppose to be carrying it

Nope, not like this....

Sweeeeeeet right ?

Wanna know what's sweeter ?    We had an issue with the babysitter who was coming to watch the kids while I ran to Spencer's IEP evalutation for next year and to go to Syd's kindergarten end of the year/graduation-but really just singing and parade wearing these cars.

J was going to come home and watch the 4 boys so that I could run over.    And then Syd said heavy heartedly, "mama, are you coming to my program ?"  to which I confirmed, "yes honey, I wouldn't miss it"

She then followed it up with, "do you think we could call Mommy J so that SHE can come too ?"  :(

Thing is...I'm always the one who goes...I'm always the one who gets to snap the pictures and watch her facial change as she stands up proud and tall and starts singing.

I felt bad for Syd and I felt bad for J.    I agreed to stay home so that J could go but that wasn't the answer.

I was able to get a neighborhood girl who had JUST that hour free to come over and watch the kids so that we were both able to attend the program.    

Sydney RAN and JUMPED in J's arms when we arrived.   She was so excited to see her there.    After they walked their cars around the gym, Sydney happily found a place on her Mommy J's lap.    I'm so glad she was able to participate.   It was very important to Syd and more importantly...it made her feel important.
