On Saturday, Drew, my nephew, and I had a play date. We started out the afternoon at the park. Then, we went to the Build-a-Bear workshop, but since he had apparently just made one a week or so ago, we didn’t actually create another one. We searched for a cell phone for his new bear (Drew loves gadgets), but they didn’t have one he was looking for. Next Drew asked to go to the Bookstore. Drew played with the trains and then found a Cars book. He loves the movie Cars, and was not going to allow me to miss the opportunity to buy the book that came complete with small Lighting McQueen and Tow Mater cars that he could race on the floor. I decided that since it was a bit more expensive, I could perhaps read this to him and purchase another book, but when I started to read it, he leaned over and kindly says, “let’s go buy it.” Well… I couldn’t resist Drew, so we bought it. Next Drew decided that chicken nuggets and french fries were needed to refuel, so he chose Wendy’s for dinner (this worked for me since Wendy’s is generally my default Fast Food choice). Dinner was very interesting. Drew informed me that if I wanted to be fabulous, I “have to put my hair back in a pony tail”. My sister and I still have no clue where he learned this! As the saying goes… “kids say the darndest things”! We concluded our day out at another park, but the “big kids” were a bit wild and kept running over the “little kids”, so we did not stay for long. After slight resistance to taking a bath and going to bed, and several occasions where he got out of bed because he couldn’t sleep, he was soon off in dreamland, probably reflecting on the great day with Aunt KyKy.
