Dave went out riding for a few hours, which was perfect timing because it was at the start of nap time. That meant Peyton and I slept, while Brandon tinkered around with his legos. He said he slept, and maybe that was right, since it was pretty quiet. I got up to what sounded like him munching away from a plastic bag. I snuck up on him, and he was just taking legos out of a bag, not eating. Soon after, Peyton woke up. She lounged around for awhile, then wanted to get up and do puzzles. We headed downstairs to do a 100-piece puzzle she’d gotten for her birthday. It’s a princess puzzle, so that helps sort out the colors. The way I help her is to flip the pieces over, and sort by color. She does the rest! She doesn’t like doing the edges first, but prefers to put the princesses together, making it a little harder. Also a challenge is that we don’t look at the box, so we really don’t know what we’re putting together or in what order. She can tell the orientation of the pieces, too, by using clues, like the spire on the castle. One thing she wanted to do was turn the whole thing around because it was “upside down”. I suggested to her that she move, since all the pieces were set around the frame, which we eventually had put together. Brandon was doing his Valentine’s cards and then his reading program, so he was busy but close by so I could supervise. I also prepped some cauliflower to roast. We’d picked up some at the Farmer’s market and I thought I’d try a new veggie for the kids.
When Dave came home, he prepped the salmon and got some bok choy stir fried. Brandon loves the kale chips that I make, and the cauliflower is similar. He wanted a few bites even before dinner. He said, “Wow, this is good!” Peyton said, “I want some.” I looked at her and said, “Hmm, I don’t think you will like it. Maybe you won’t want any.” She whined, “Yes, yes, I want some!” Brandon said, “It’s really good. It’s really yummy.” Peyton opened her mouth wide, but then closed it and said, “What is it?” I didn’t want to saw cauliflower, since earlier she’d announced that she didn’t like cauliflower. I told her, “It’s yummy.” She said, “It looks like popcorn,” then opened again. I put a little piece in. She said, “Um, it’s not that yummy though.” She struggled to eat the portion we’d given her. She ate the bok choy with no problem. Then left a few florets. She whined some more, and I told her, “Do you want me to put honey on it?” She nodded quickly, so I grabbed the honey bear, and she watched while I put one drop in the middle of the cauliflower. She opened wide and ate it happily. Whatever works. I probably won’t be forcing that anymore. She still prefers just her plain old frozen veggies.
After dinner, he took Brandon to return some t-ball gear we’d gotten earlier. We were sent a coupon from the league for a discount, which they hadn’t honored by word of mouth earlier. We are buying gear for t-ball-like we’re outfitting Brandon for hockey with body armor! There is extra padding on his sternum and kidney area. He tried it on and started pounding his chest. He looked like half monkey, half Hulk. We also bought own helmet, too. I guess when we were little, my mom never thought about lice. Or maybe she did, and just got over it. I can’t get over it. The norm these days is to have moppy hair, not the clean cut, clean shaven look of years past. Dave still thinks that others will use it. I want to put a sign on it, “DO NOT ENTER.” Dave said the one that fit him the best has a carve out for a pony tail. Well, at least Peyton can use it when she’s older! So, I think we’re all set with helmets – we’re really trying to protect Brandon’s brain as we have a ski helmet, a bike helmet, and now a baseball helmet. Dave told me this was the conversation he had with Brandon in the car.
B: Sean told me where he lives. Not the numbers, but what kind of house. He lives in a white house with a brown door. Not like the big, white house.
D: What big, white house?
B: You know, the one the president lives in. It’s just a medium white house.

Haha…he IS learning in school as I’m pretty sure that hasn’t come up at home.
So while they were doing their errands, Peyton and I were finishing up the puzzle. This was our conversation:
Me: I have to go potty.
P: Okay, go potty. I will do the puzzle by my own self. Do you have to go pee or poop?
Me: Pee.
P: Oh, just pee? (Upon flushing) Remember to wash your hands. Apparently, she is also learning at school! Yay for school.
