Sydney wanted to keep wearing the dress she'd worn to Sunday School to her friend Reese's birthday party. Ironically, the party was held at the Children's Museum, which is featuring an exhibit called Little Builders. So there was Sydney, looking like the picture of self sufficiency, wearing her fancy dress while using hammer, screwdriver and wrench.
Need help hoisting a bucket of bricks to the top floor? No problem. (In this instance she was totally copying her brother.)
Speaking of whom, AJ was dressed in his own unique mix of costumes. The party was Tinkerbell themed, so of course he had to wear his new pirate costume. The construction worker ear phones add such a nice touch. Don't you think?
One of my favorite parts of the party was simply watching all the kids interact with each other while playing with the construction equipment. Most of the party-goers came from the kids' daycare, and so every once in a while you could tell they were experiencing what could best be described as mix of confusion and delight. Confusion for seeing so many familiar faces out of context, and delight at the novelty of all the new toys they could play with their friends.
Or so I thought. The thrill of it all wore off quickly. Monday morning, as I tried to get a tired and grumpy Sydney dressed and ready for daycare, I enthusiastically said, "You're going to have so much fun today. You're going to see all your friends, and you can tell them, 'I saw you yesterday at the museum'."
Sydney had silently been listening up until that point. She then interrupted in protest, "But Mommy, I don't want to say that."
