On Wednesday this week Brynley was supposed to dress as her favorite book/movie character as part of her school's literacy week. She narrowed it down to Fancy Nancy or Lucy (Lucy Pevensie from The Lion, The Witch & the Wardrobe). Zach & the girls have started reading a condensed version of the book and Brynley really likes it. Lucy won out so we had to find something Lucy-like for her to wear. She ended up wearing a jumper my mom made me when I was in kindergarten, a red cardigan she already had & some knee socks (very similar to the illustration in said book). She even got to wear her "fancy coat" to school to complete the outfit.
Then Wednesday evening, Zach took Sydney out for her first "date with Daddy." She was told she could go eat anywhere she wanted...she chose Wendy's. Since there is not much to do in Bolivar, the next stop was a coffee shop where they split a hot chocolate & chocolate muffin. Sydney's favorite part was sucking the whipped cream off the top of the hot chocolate - Zach had to go ask the owner of the coffee shop for more whipped cream! She had a blast. It was good for her to go with Daddy b/c she's a big momma's girl and will almost always choose to go places with me, not Daddy. In fact, the last time Brynley mentioned wanting to go on a date with Dad, Syd said, "Not me, I want to go on a date with Mommy." She had so much fun and can't wait to do it again.
