October 6

The kiddos didn't have school today, so we went out to IHOP for breakfast. (Well, more like brunch. There was much foot-dragging that slowed the pace considerably.) The Little Boys have been extra bicker-y lately, so when the opportunity to separate them arose afterward, I grabbed it and took Isaac to Boomers for some (non-video game related) fun while Abby and Brady stayed home.

Isaac isn't aggressive or particularly outgoing and he wasn't so sure about driving the go-kart at first --as a matter of fact, he looked near-tears when he first touched the accelerator and the car lurched forward-- but he wound up having a good time. So much so, in fact, that he spent most of the rest of the day talking about how much he enjoyed the boats and the laser tag and the mini golf. (Which, of course, made Abby and Brady envious, but that's another entry.)

Given how mercurial he's been lately, I liked watching him enjoy himself.
