Good point...if the kids had said, "Mommy, stay!" I would have just said I had things to do. But for him to ask me to stay in front of them it was a little awkward. And actually the present he got from the kids was too big for them to carry (and to wrap--it was a painting he has wanted for a long time) so I had to bring it in when it was present time. I thought I would just do that when I dropped off the kids but then he made the comment about his parents being on their way, etc etc.
Oh well it was fine actually. He loved the painting and said thank you five or six times so it was worth it.
Sydney had her Christmas program last night for preschool. They sang "Must Be Santa" and then the Jackson 5 version of "Frosty the Snowman". She was awesome! As one of her teaching assistants said, "I'm not gonna lie, the girl has it."
She knew every single word and enunciated like she was singing for someone who needed to read lips, it was hysterical! Then she danced all the moves and was fabulous! My parents, Dan's parents, and Dan and Nathan and I were all there to watch and she loved that.
I have the kids today, they go to Dan's tomorrow, then I have them during the day on Thursday while he is at work. Then he has them again Thursday night and Christmas Eve (Fri). I go over there Christmas morning for Santa, and then I get them all of Christmas day. They go back to him for Sunday (26) for his mom's Christmas celebration.So a lot of shuffling, but so be it. I am so excited that school is out after tomorrow!!!
