Today we visited a place called Monkey Bizness. It is an indoor play area for children. It had a bounce house, a dress up area with a tree club house thing, a climbing zone with all kinds of obbsticals, an arts room, and a place for babies maybe 4 months and up.
Dawson's favorite was the bounce house. At first he was so scared but eventually he began to jump. Phillip loved trying to climb the sliding part of the bounce house. He would get half way up and begin to slide back down. They both really liked climbing, going in and out of rooms, and getting dressed up. Phillip dressed in a giraffe costume and Dawson dressed up in a Lion costume with the help of thier daddy. Phillip even went back to the mirror area when he didn't have the costume on.
Andy and I decided last night we wouldn't lounge around on the couch all day watching tv (mostly Team Umizoomi and Thomas The Train). It's hard to really get motivated to get up and play when we are so tired from working these crazy hours. I work two grave days and three evening shifts while Andy works evenings. There are days when Andy gets off of work at 6am and must get up at 8:30am or 9am when the boys wake up. It is not an ideal schedule but it does allow us to see our children most hours of the day.
Things are getting normalized more and more.
