All the kiddos are playing together more as they learn how to include a younger sibling who speaks and understands limited English. DD is understanding several commands and phrases such as "sit down", and she often repeats words that she hears. We play the "To jest" (sounds a bit like "tuoy yest" and means "This is") often and fill in the blank with the English word for the object or person.
Thursday, we took the kiddos to an indoor play place called Digiloo. It has a lot of different activities for the kids to do, including slides - one is probably about three stories high, trampolines, basketball, an area for tricycles of various sizes, target practicing witih nerf balls, and lots of climbing, jumping, and general activitiest to wear them all out. :) We spent two hours there, and the kiddos are already asking to go back. My only wish for it is air conditioning. It was not as hot as outside, but it was not air conditioned which made it quite warm.
On Friday, we stayed home. Beginning at breakfast time, it was a "test the boundaries" day for DD, and we just did not feel that adding in a new place to the mix would be wise. It was a long and frustrating day for all of us, and we were all exhausted by the end of it.
The good news is that Saturday was a big improvement.
It was HOT, so we went to the mall (air conditioning, woohooo!) in search of a kiddie pool, but August is a terrible time to have those available. After all, nobody would use one when it is 95*+, would they? Anyway, rant over...no, we did not find a pool, so it was back to the house to use the hose for some of the kiddos to cool off.
Here are some pictures of Digiloo, the indoor play area.
