Today was paint-your-own-train day at our local craft store. So, after the zoo and then lunch (at the "bear restaurant"--DD's request, as she remembered the manager once gave them packets of Teddy Grahams), we headed to "arts and crafts."
But DS fell asleep, his first nap in, well, like a month. So DD and I went in while DP waited with him. We got inside, walked up to the craft table, and were handed the second-to-last train they had. Oh, whew, we had just made it. But DD hadn't--the last train was given to the child behind us (mind you, this was 30 minutes into a 2 hour event and there were irate moms and sad children behind us)--we couldn't procure one for an absent child, which is totally understandably.
DD painted her little wooden car green, pink, and yellow. I added a face and her name. And she was happy but shy. At least she got one--she loves arts and crafts and had been talking about the trains since we left for the zoo.
But all's well that ends well. DP went into the store when we were done and picked up a Trevor train that DS had wanted. He can't paint it, but he didn't wake up empty-handed.
