school carnival

Last week, Bodhi and I had a Mommy and Bodhi day and went to his cousin Zena's, school carnival. She goes to the same elementary school that I did. It was interesting to walk around the school grounds and see that not much has changed except for maybe the updated playground and a small vegetable garden where grass used to be. Bodhi had lots of fun sliding down the giant blowup slide and eating cotton candy. I was happy to spend some alone time with my little boy.

Big Brother

Bodhi has been an excellent big brother so far.  He doesn't seem to be at all troubled by a little baby moving in on his turf.  He always wants to help out with his little sister and has been a big help with feedings, diapers and bathtime. 

He likes to hold her and talk to her and he lets us know when she seems upset.  He has been a little bit jealous now and then, but usually he just wants to be picked up and held a little more than usual.

He can't wait for her to grow up though.  He already tries to get her to play with him.  Of course, this usually means that Kira gets to be the dragon or monster that guards the pirate treasure.  She is pretty good at guarding it though...
