Abby, the other day, while standing on my chest in her pajamas held her arms out and yelled, "Look at me! I'm pajama-man!!" Have no idea where this came from.
Ben, similarly, has discovered a new fun thing where he likes to climb up on me when I'm laying down and once he gets to the middle he just flings himself off. He then giggles like crazy. I have a feeling we're heading for a bumped head pretty good down the line, but for now it's good times.
Even more fun, tonight we all went to the Oakdale Carnival. Last year we took Abby and the first day she loved rides and then the second day she wanted nothing to do with them, so we weren't sure how this would end up. But once we told her we were going to the carnival with rides she was super excited and couldn't stop talking about it, and then she showed us why by going on every single ride possible, even turning down offers of snacky foods so she could get to the next ride.
Daddy and Abby went on the carousel, the Dizzy Dragon (like a Tilt-A-Whirl but shaped like a dragon), the rocky boat (a boat shaped ride that goes back and forth and a little bit sideways), and the Safari Ride (a gondola that goes around in a circle like a ferris wheel kind of. Abby and Mommy went on the helicopter ride (during which Mommy was terrified the whole time because she's kind of a wimp about rides), and Abby went on the car ride by herself - twice! She then made sure we knew the car ride was her favorite, because apparently three-years old is when it's time to start letting your parents know you are just fine all on your own. The joys of parenting.
We also played some games, and Abby won a stuffed penguin for herself, and a stuffed banana and a stuffed white tiger for Benny. She was so proud, which made us so proud. Of course, she won them by grabbing three ducks out of a fake stream and every duck grabbed was an automatic winner, but that's still more than Daddy won playing the basketball shooting game so I guess I should just say she was the big winner tonight. Or we all were because it was an absolute blast. Somehow we didn't get any cheese curds but Mommy got her mini-donuts and Abby and Daddy grabbed an ice cream on the way out (Orange Dreamsicle for Abby, Chipwich for Daddy) so everybody left happy. Except maybe Ben who was so deliriously tired he started eating his stuffed tiger, but still, a really great, fun night.
