On Saturday night, Tonio woke up screaming. I think he was having a bad dream because I went in and kissed him and rearranged his blankies and he was fine. The next morning all of us were in bed, snuggling because it was so cold outside (we have been in a cold streak) and I asked Tonio if he had a nightmare and he said, "Mmmm Hmmm". "About what?" "Banana slugs", he said. I just about killed me. We all got a good laugh out of that one.
On Sunday I took Miguel to the craft shop because I want to make him a new stinkie. His stinkie is about to be retired to the Stinkie Hall of Fame, as Brian likes to say. I asked him to pick some yarn and he went for the same light blue color of his stinkie now. I asked if that is what he wanted and he put it in his mouth, the ball of yarn, and chewed. Then he said yes. Crazy kid.
Today we had one of our old days. I work on Wednesdays now so I have not been able to do the park, library and farmers market. This week I swithced. We went to the cafe for bagels and coffee on Hayes. Then stopped by Marlenas, the drag bar that has over 1000 santas! We hung out with the owner for awhile talking about santas. Then off to the store with the beautiful holiday carnival scene- merry go rounds, ferris wheels, circus tent, swings. It is so whimsical and beautiful. Then to the library for the Polar Express/Thomas train holiday exhibit. Miguel still remembered pushing the buttons for two trains from last year. We were there for about 40 minutes. You both loved it. We saw the waffle man, got apple samples, and popcorn. You then played at the playground out in city hall. As we were walking home we spotted snow on the steps of City Hall. It has been an especially cold week with snow in Oakland. They filled the steps. We played in the snow and threw snow balls for the next hour. It was great. Then BAM! you both started to cry because your little fingers were so cold. It was a great morning. I love you both so much.
