Friday 05.27.11 Day One

Jude and Zane were given Nintendo DS's before Guy & Lindy left. Partly to keep them occupied and distracted so they're not upset missing them the whole time, and partly to help out whoever is watching them! They've worked great so far!

We had some coupons for Rita's that expired yesterday so Stefen & I wanted to take them. Jude was all for it and was ready in minutes. Zane on the other hand, has been saying he wants to stay at his house and doesn't want to go anywhere, so we have to try hard to convince him it will be fun. Once we get wherever we're going he's usually fine. He finally agreed he would go with us, but when he changed his clothes he wanted to keep his night shirt on under his shirt he just put on, so that when he got home he could take it off and have the other shirt on. If weird little things like this keep him happy, we let him do it.


While we were at Rita's Zane said he wanted to go home and when I asked why he said, "because I miss mommy". We asked Jude if he missed Mommy, Daddy, and sissy and he said "a little bit", but over all Jude has been fine.

Guy & Lindy bought them a book that they recorded themselves reading it. The boys were getting ready for bed, Stefen climbed in Zane's bed with him and then Jude climbed in too. They asked if Stefen could sleep in there with them and I asked if they just wanted to all sleep in Guy & Lindy's bed with us, they both got really excited and said "yes!!" Jude said, "can we really ALL sleep in there??"
So we all moved to Guy & Lindy's bedroom. Once everyone was tucked in I read the book to them. Zane was busy joking around the whole time and wasn't paying much attention. When we were done reading the book I noticed Jude was crying. He said he is fine but when he sees them or hears them it makes him miss them.
We tried to change the subject and started talking about dolphins hugging people with their "hands" and then we fell asleep.
