Granny and PaPa picked Ashton up from school on Monday - much to his delight. They went to Ashy's house to take care of the animals, and then headed to PaPa's house to wait for BoBo to get off work. Ashton LOVES his new Scooby Doo Pirate movie, and was watching it for the second time when BoBo got to Granny and PaPa's house.
Ashton and BoBo kissed Granny and PaPa bye and headed to Ashy's home. The animals were already up, which was a good thing as it started to rain on the way. Ashy giggled as BoBo "cleaned" her windshield with the wipers and it squeaked. Once they got home, Ashton and BoBo kicked off their shoes and got comfortable. Ashton was "hungy", and wanted PB&J with baked cheetohs again. BoBo fixed Ashton a sandwich (he "helped" by sticking his finger in the PB and "wickin it" and popped some popcorn. After Ashton ate all his sandwich - even the crust - he ate popcorn with BoBo. She fixed herself a sandwich, and he ate half of it, too. He played hard, so was really hungry - even had part of an apple. Ashton wanted to watch his Scooby movie again, so BoBo put it in for him to watch while she ironed his clothes and cleaned his shoes.
Monday was bath night, and Ashton was ready to splash. It took BoBo a little bit to figure out the plumbing is reversed in the bathroom: she had the water turned to warm, but it was not getting hot. Once she figured out the problem, she turned it the other direction and added some Superman bubbles to the mix. Ashton splashed a bit, then BoBo pulled the plug - much to his dismay! "I play, BoBo. I not wike you! I play!" She cajoled him out of the tub with promises of more Superman bubbles at his next bath. Once his PJs were on, Ashton was ready to go to bed. He had gotten a new book in the mail over the weekend, so Ashton and BoBo read the story about the Tiger who couldn't sleep. Ashton kissed everyone's pictures on BoBo's phone, and listened to his prayers with Momma and Daddy several times before finally snuggling under the covers.
This morning, Ashton woke up wanting his BoBo (she had gone to "the big bed" about 2:00) so he climbed up with her and promptly fell back asleep snoring. The morning routine went MUCH smoother today! It helps knowing where all the cups and utensils are. I had gotten everything together last night. So, once I got Ashton dressed, I turned cartoons on for him and put everything I has assembled in his lunchbag with the ice packs. I even remembered to brush his teeth and comb his hair. We were out the door by 7:30! We said our prayers - Ashton wanted "God Our Father" so that is what we went for. We even called and talked to PaPa on the way to school.
Ashton got grease on his hand getting out of BoBo's car at school, so he headed straight for the sink after we checked in. His teacher was glad that I had told her that he calls me BoBo, because apparently he was talking about me yesterday. He promised to be a good boy, so we'll see. He is excited that Granny is picking him up, but wanted PaPa, too. We talked about where Mommy and Daddy are. He likes to show me on the map Ukraine (and Mommy, Daddy, and Sissy), and tells me they are coming back to "merica" on Jake.

Hey! Just imagine when you have two to tackle? And yes it gets easier, I think you just get to the point that you realize that if everyone makes it out of the house dressed, clean, although sometimes mismatched-ever try to convice a toddler the benefits of color coordination?-you have succeeded. Just learn to pick your battles and roll with the punches and somehow everything else just kinda falls into place...let me know if you need a break...and don't forget about Saturday! love, the pecoraros...
