Yesterday was the Shaw childrens Christmas party at Crash Crawlies, so Kadin and I spent about 2 hours with probably 100 co-workers and their families. As Tonia's parents are coming into town on Wednesday, she opted to stay behind and get a head-start on some much needed cleaning!
It was a great time though. Last year, Kadin was only 2 months old, so his most athletic feat was staying awake for 10 minutes at a time. This year, he was able to play in a giant pit of plastic balls!!!!!!!! Now, he had a fantastic time doing that, but my little Kadin is an odd cookie.
Picture this. A GIANT PIT OF PLASTIC BALLS, and about 5 children aged 1 - 5 playing in it at any given time. Most children are entering from one side, walking around a bit, and exiting on the other side where the slides are. Kadin however, is quite content being buried up to his neck in the balls and not moving.
I stood beside him for like 15 minutes, watching his shaggy hair wave back and forth as he turned to watch the other children, but him not moving at all! I thought he was bored at one point and picked him up, but he cried until I put him back in and buried him again. When the head started sinking, I was then sure it was time to go.
....
Now it's bed time, good night!
