I just have to write and say how great Andrew is! I have friends whose husbands are not nearly as involved with their children as they should be. And I have absolutely no complaints about Andrew. He is so wonderful. He watched the girls all day Friday and Saturday and most of Sunday. While Ella was at the babysitter on Friday, he was able to get some work done and have a little bonding time with Lily. And then on Saturday, he and the girls made a day of it! They went to the Burbank mall and played at the new playarea there. Th Easter Bunny is on the same level and Ella has been sort of interested in the set up they have there. Finally on Saturday, the Easter Bunny was actually there when they were. So both Ella & Lily sat on the bunny's lap and had their picture taken. Both of them look slightly weirded out in the picture, but neither of them are screaming which is a big improvement over the last time Ella saw Santa. ;-) Ella didn't want to seat there long enough for a picture with Lily so they both got individual pictures.
Then as if that wasn't enough excitement for one day, Andrew took them to see Ice Age 2. Ella got her own seat and icee and watched a good portion of the movie. Lily slept for most of it. So overall it was a good moviegoing experience.
I knew they were having a ton of fun together because when I stopped home before dinner on Saturday, Ella just waved and said, "Bye. See you." when I was leaving. Like "I'm spending time with Dad, have fun Mom, see ya later." It was very cute.
Then they all joined us for our walk to Kenneth Village on Sunday. We all recuperated and took naps yesterday afternoon. We will have to rest up this week because we have another fun weekend planned in a few days. Andrew's parents are coming for a visit and are going to help us out by watching Ella & Lily for a couple days while Andrew and I have a little vacation down at the Four Seasons in San Diego. Can't wait!
Hope everyone has a great week!
