Mummy & Daddy Plus Three
If you ever watched "Jon & Kate Plus Eight", on the Discovery channel or The Learning Channel, then you know our article title refers to it, somewhat. No, we're not pregnant with twins! Mummy & Daddy, along with Grandma Katy, basically borrowed two other kids :o). Actually, we babysat two of Erik's buddies on late Saturday afternoon until late Saturday night. Three boys vs. Three adults. Yikes!
Erik was still asleep when they first arrived so we engaged in some cool activities such as arts in the kitchen area. Austin & Jeremy drew lots of pictures such as different color balls,then they became sun, then the suns became flowers, etc. Mummy even did "Story Time" with the two boys in the living room, where Curious George and I love you through and through was read.
After Erik woke up from his late nap, we decided that we need a strategy to tire 3 boys out as much as we can. PARK here we come! We loaded our van with 2 additional car seats and piled them in one-by-one. Erik loved having his buddies sitting next to him! He was giggling and smiling away. At the park we got to run them wild by doing a few rounds of chase. We'd chase after Jeremy. We'd then chase after Austin. We then chase after Erik and continue. Then we sat down for a brief 5-10 minute picnic with water and animal crackers. What a way to wind down our Saturday evening.
After the soccer field run, we played with the park's play structure and also the water feature. The boys got soaking wet and with the chilly weather, it was too cold to let them play any longer. Thus we stripped them down in the van, changed them into Erik's spare clothes, and off to home we go. There, we piled the 3 boys into our big bath tub and dropped them in one by one in the communal bath (with swim diapers on!) HAHAH! The boys had a lot of fun in there. We gave each of them a dinosaur bath toy for squirting water and it was a series of "water attacks" then and lots of giggles! Hee Hee!
Grandma Katy even made special homemade dinners for them including mac n' cheese, steamed veggies, and dumplings/pot stickers. Erik showed off that he's a big boy in front of his buddies and insisted on feeding himself with NO help! WOW! While Austin & Jeremy got showered with lots of attention by getting "spoon fed" by both Grandma Katy and Mummy too!
We had quite a lot of fun. Erik had a blast with his two buddies, Austin & Jeremy. Erik was being such a good host. He shared his toys willingly without prompting and said verbally in Cantonese "Friend's turn" as he hands his favorite rescue pack to his buddy to give a try. Awwww! Is our little Erik maturing? :o) hahaha
