The guys were on the road by 9:00. Poor Wesley was a little upset that his daddy was going camping without him - and taking Sho instead - but the promise of a special storytime at the library helped cheer him up.
We headed to one of the libraries in the system I work for and enjoyed the annual "Touch a Truck" event. A transportation themed storytme (led by one of my good friends, Gabrielle) followed by the opportunity to look at and climb on a bunch of different trucks, cars, etc. Wesley and Kei really enjoyed the storytime. Wesley did all the rhymes and songs and loved the books, but he was less than impressed with the real trucks. He went up in a firetruck and got scared and that was that. No more enjoyment. He pouted almost the whole time we were there. There were a few flashes of fun - he liked the moving truck and the COTA bus, but that was it. Not even Grandpa P. who was there showing his MGB could cheer Wesley up.
Wesley and Kei put on a puppet show while waiting for storytime to start.
Not the kind of treehouse Wesley had in mind, but not too bad.
Hanging out in the COTA bus.
Hard to believe this was his favorite "truck."
After the storytime, we went to Grandma H.'s house. She took pity on me and spent the rest of the day with me and the boys. We went out to lunch and did a little shopping for the boys. Then Grandma came to our house and we had a yummy dinner, gave the boys their baths and watched some of the Ohio State game.
When Grandma went home, Wesley crawled in the "big red bed" with me and we both slept there. Like I said, not a horrible birthday. But I'm still looking forward to Duane coming home and us going out tonight!
