An ordinary day at Bobby school

In the mornings I drop the kids off at Bobby School (aka daycare). Generally I let them watch a movie on the DVD player, because it's about 20 minutes into town. Lately they've been watching a Baby Einstein DVD and interestingly enough both kids seem to enjoy it. There is a part where a monkey puppet slips and falls and both kids laugh hysterically- at which point Asher asks me to rewind it to make it "fall again." Then a few minutes later a cute little song "We're having fun, swimming in the deep blue sea" comes on and both kids squeal and tell me my favorite song is on. I turn it up and we all sing together. This morning Avery had her little microphone that plays songs and we were all singing along with that too. I will go pick up the kids pretty soon. I'll get there and they'll both run up to me and jump on me (it's sort of a contest to see who can be most excited to see me, which I rather enjoy). Sometimes Asher will run to get Avery when he sees me before even coming over and saying hi to me...he'll point at me and tell "Ah-Bree" that mommy's here like he can't even believe it. :) Usually getting them both in the car can be a bit of challenge, as it begins the transition between school and home. It hardly ever comes and goes without tears from someone (usually Asher). After a dozen promises of gum (Asher asks "please piece of gum now mommy") they get in their seats and buckled in. I give them a squirt of hand gel and hand the pack of gum to Asher (yes, he needs to hold the entire package and pick out his own piece before handing it to Avery) and we take off. I usually get a few minutes down the road and get to ask them what they did during their day and what they had to eat before Asher asks if he can please watch a moobie now. I love watching their little faces watching the screen, so I oblige. I'm already looking forward to picking them up. :)
