I picked the boys up at 12 expecting to put them in car seats but then I realized I had no idea how to seat car seat in Chinese and heavens they probably don't even have a word for car seat so I gestured and said, "come on" (they've learned that one) and the got in my "car" and we went to the "store" Let me just tell you we spent an hour, yes and hour, in Walmart picking out 2 little boy swim suits. They thought Walmart was the coolest thing on earth we had to walk all around it which I was totally ok with because they stayed by me, it was cool inside, and we were wasting time. When we got to the little boys section I showed them literally every swim suit and a few the younger one, Darren, said yes to but his older brother Dylan would say, "no no no" I was like crap, what am I going to do?? Then I realized that the boys section was too big for them so we went to the baby section and I got two 4T lightning McQueen swim suits and took off without any reassurance from the two. We waited our turn in line which included them picking out a candy for each of them. We drove to the splash park after that. I think they thought we were in Disneyland. They changed right into their "Swim Suits" and ran to the water tags still on and everything.
These cups were literally the only thing that got us through today. Who would have thought that a red solo cup could bring so much joy ;)
We got a few weird looks today and a few questions about me being with these two boys and I think it was all worth it. These two made my day even if I have no idea what they are saying. To see a smile and hear a laugh from them makes it all worth it in the end.
