We got a call Friday night: Zane's mom, Shaun (man, I will miss her) called to ask if Kai would please take care of Zane's fish, Blue, while they were in Tahoe for the weekend. So they delivered the fish and feeding instructions this morning. Kai and Nina were adamant about eating dinner with Blue. Kai is really digging having a fish around. When they were gearing up to leave our house for Tahoe, the kids snuck in the car, shared cookies, and it was really hard for Nina to get out of the car.
Had fun today. Listened to music, rode bike to La Bou for a treat, spent some quality time with Kai during Nina's long nap , sudoko and workbooks and for some reason the magic-mellow-Kai formula worked today. He was a joy. Hardly any of the abundant sass we've had lately. Very affectionate and sweet. Here the kids are making cards for special grandpas that they miss so much. Fridays have been my favorite day in Sac. I think I'll always keep Kai home from school on fridays, even when he's 16.
