Weekend fun

We had a great weekend with some great friends and their kids. I am tired but it was fun. It has been way too long since I stayed up late just chatting with friends.

Kiya has a new BFF. Her name is Molly and she is 6. Kiya just LOVED her. Her whole face would light up when Molly entered the room. She let Molly walk her around, pick her up and read her a story. To be honest it was great having a 6 year old around to keep Kiya entertained. I could actually have an adult conversation and trust that Kiya was going to get into anything.

We spent the weekend on Lake Wisconsin. I wish the weather would have been better but it was still nice. Dave took everyone out on the boat which was nice. Kiya and I stayed back. She had a very angry reaction to putting on a life jacket so we snuggled on the couch, had a snack and watched Dora on the laptop. I blame being almost 2 and those awful swim lessons that tortured kids with floating in the pool in a life jacket but whatever. I did like the snuggles though.

We also went to the Taste of Madison event. It is on the square and has restaurants of all types of cuisine. It is so fun. We try and go every year. It was at this event a few years ago that I first had Ethiopian food. It was love at first taste....except for the injera....still working on that one. This year I had Ethiopian food, Indian food, Chinese food and some of Kiya's fried fish. Kiya are 2 different types of fried fish (halibut and cod) and more pretzels than I think are allowed by law but the pretzels kept her from screaming so we went with it.

Highlight of the weekend was hanging out with our friends and their kids. Low light...Kiya didn't nap for 3 days in a row. She unfortunately did pretty okay with no nap. I am really hoping this isn't a permanent thing and more of I don't want to be away from the action aka Molly thing. Fingers crossed she naps today. This mama is so not ready for Kiya to give up her nap. I really don't think she is either but she has been sleeping 13 or more hours a night...sigh...

If she gives up her nap when do I get to nap and/or watch trashy reality TV???
