Skyler went to sleep at Auntie Pea's Friday afternoon and will return after the Monarchs game on Tuesday.
We had a busy day on Friday. No school. YEAH! Skyler had his first lesson with the digital camera. We went walking in Davis and then rode the a double decker bus. We sat on the top level of course. "Grandma, this bus is old. How old do you think it is?" I'm not sure. He looked out the windows and at the cars below and the tree tops at eye level, but the age of the bus was always on his mind. "Why is this bus so old?"
We were hungry after our photography trip and went to MacDonalds for lunch. I think it was a little lonely for him to play without his sister. There were a couple of other kids there but they didn't want to interact. We completed all of my errands and went back to Sacramento. He took his 25 minute car nap on the way home and was ready for more action.
We drove to Auntie Pea's through the Friday Afternoon traffic nightmare.
Paulette gave me an alternate route so I could go to the Zumba exercise class on my way home.
The apartment was very quiet when I got home.
Saturday night the Monarchs beat the Los Angeles Sparks in a really great basketball game. The women are getting more aggressive in their playing every year. Skyler ate his pizza while looking at the assembled crowd. When the game started and Paulette and I became loud fans. He sat for some time looking from one to the other with a puzzled look on his face. He then caught the Thunderstick that were dropped and began making noise with them. He stopped long enough to tell the woman next to us she had one of thundersticks was upside down. She later asked if he was always so good.
He joined in the chant BEAT LA, BEAT LA.... I watched him listen, try it out and listen again and finally get it right.
In the car, after the game he said, Can I call my mom? We said yes, and heard her say What are you doing still up? He talked to both of his parents and moments after he closed the phone was asleep.

What's a Thunderstick?
Thundersticks are plastic blowup sticks that make a lot of noise when you slam them together. Maybe we will bring Alex a set.
Sounds like you all had a great time at the game. Nice story.
You know, only someone who doesn't live with a preschool child would give them anything that makes a lot of noise or comes in lots of tiny pieces (like Leg-O's)
:)
Bring some for Alex? Are you kidding me?
Sounds like tons of fun. I miss going to the NBA games :(
Skyler probably had "Who are these two ladies and what did you do with my grandma and aunt?" running through his head. That was the remark Kendra made at the Def Leppard concert (outdoors) we went to with Tammie and Randy. She looked at me and said "who are you and what have you done with my mom?" :D
