Kids Day

"When is it kids day?" Nash, my 4-year old, asked. I thought to myself, "everyday is kids day." Instead I asked him why he wanted a kids day. He responded by mentioning that Mommies had a day and Daddies had a day, so kids should have a day too. I couldn't find fault with logic like that, so my husband and I worked out a plan for individual kids days.

My husband and I decided that with three kids and usually a hectic house it was important to take each child individually out on a date for their kids day. Each week one of the boys will go with my husband to a special event or place. As the boys get older they will choose the event, but for now my husband chooses. I also voted that he take each child out because I have all the fun with them during the week.

This Sunday we put our 7 month old down for her nap, and waited for our 3-year old to fall asleep for his nap. Once they were both asleep, my husband took my 4-year old to a car club cruise at a restaurant. They had ice cream and looked at the cool cars. Next week it will by my 3-year olds turn to go out with Daddy. I anticipate my 4-year old having a hard time with this, so nap time is a great way to separate them. Hopefully, over time the boys will become accustomed to this tradition, and they won't have to sneak away during nap time.

Today my 4-year has been lining up cars like at the car show.
