Today was the second annual fall festival at work. We went to swimming as usual. Coach Rob told us, “She pushed my hand away for her back float so she could do it herself!” Back floats. I told him she’s pretty independent, and he said, “I’m learning that quickly!” They also worked on holding their breath under water. Peyton enjoys dunking herself and doing head bobs. She’ll stay under there for awhile, while the other boy will go down, then pop up immediately. So, Rob was trying to go from 3 seconds to 5 seconds and longer. Over the summer, Peyton held her breath longer than Brandon, mostly due to Brandon giggling and having to come up for air. We showered the kids up there, then headed over early. We were about 30 minutes early, but since it looked like things were set up, we started our journey through the booths. We did a little back and forth as we had to check in first before going to get our flu shots. Peyton was a bit whiny, and even before we got there, she was complaining about not wanting to get shot. I thought she said she didn’t want to SHOP, but she clarified SHOT. Brandon had already got the nasal shot the last time Dave took him in, but he was not without whining himself. He said, “I don’t want to go and see her get a shot!” Dave took Peyton, while I faced her and got my own. I told her to be a big girl, and no tears! The shot went in, and she had no reaction, then the tears started, but she hid her face in her arm, wanting to be strong and not show tears. She did sob, with lots of tears, and I took her while Dave got his shot done. Last year, there were juice bars right away, which is what we were trying to bribe her with, but this year, we had to wait a bit. We went back to the lobby, then suddenly, someone tapped Brandon on the shoulder. It was Ian!! Kira was there with two dum-dums, and she handed one to Peyton. Both girls are so quiet in public, but Peyton said a very quiet Thank you to her. Kathy’s whole family was waiting in the lobby (minus Jeff and Kaia) for her to register first. When she came back, they were headed to get shots, while we were headed to lunch. We’d seen The Brown’s when we had first gone in to register. It had taken us some time to get back out there, since the line for flu shots had grown from when we’d first come in. At one point, I saw Bonnie and Connor while I was getting our food, but they were walking away from us. We went to get our food and find a spot in the shade. We didn’t bring a stroller, so we had the kids walking on their own in the open area. I was carrying stuff, so I turned to find Peyton and saw this:
It was pretty warm today! Then Mckayla spotted Peyton and went up to say hello. We told them to come find us to eat lunch once they got theirs. Soon enough, Mckayla came back and wanted to sit next to Peyton. The kids ate their lunches, and then Brandon finished half his lunch first, and had his fruit bar. Peyton was still working on her meat, and when she was finished, I told her to wait for Mckayla to finish up. When she was done, both girls got their bars, then headed different directions. Brandon wanted to play some games. Dave was getting antsy since he had 3 games to watch on TV, even though they were DVR’d, he doesn’t usually like watching recorded sports stuff. We ran into Mckayla again at the seed planting area. She was gluing calendula seeds. Peyton was carefully watching Mckayla, and after she was done, I asked Peyton if she wanted to do it. She nodded and said she wanted to do it. She had a choice of the calendula flower, radish or spinach. I convinced her to do spinach, so we could eat it later. She doesn’t like radishes, or at least I don’t think she does. I helped her glue four spots on a square of newspaper. She then picked up each seed, and placed them carefully on the glue areas. She was then given a stick, and a crayon, and the volunteer asked her to write spinach. She’d just watched Mckayla write, so she was determined, too. The lady wasn’t sure if Peyton could write, but Peyton picked up the crayon and went to work. Here’s what she wrote:

She took her time, and carefully wrote each letter. I made her thank our volunteer, and she whispered “Thank you” to her. We met up with Dave and Brandon and headed home. We got back around 2pm, and then Peyton was sent off to sleep. I think she was really tired, since she told me she was tired after swimming already!
