Selfies

Today was a pretty full day, and I wound up taking Solly and Wavy, plus the three babies, to the city for a fairly quick pop-in. I was going to scope something out from Facebook Marketplace, and had no intention of telling them what it was. They were amazing sports about it, and didn’t complain at all. Wavy had her babies in her row, and Solly had his baby, and they happily entertained them, fed them some little snacks when they fussed, and everyone was completely content the entire time. Isn’t that nuts?!

So on the drive home, I grabbed an iced coffee, and I ordered three sprinkle donuts – their (and my) favorite. When I ordered them at the drive-thru speaker, they stayed totally quiet and only when I pulled away did they loudly proclaim their thanks. It was fun 💜 It is SO much fun to give a treat to a kid who is genuinely grateful!

When we actually had the donuts in hand, they were blue, which apparently was a really big deal, haha! So I passed my phone back and told them how to take a selfie. This was a first, as we don’t really ever give our kids phones except for the occasional photo opportunity. Both of the kids were super excited, as was I, because I knew neither of them had ever taken a selfie.

And it showed 😂

Goodness I laughed SO hard 🤣 At least two of them were actually photos! Hahahaha!

Small memories, perhaps, but I really enjoyed this. They were fun to take out. Instead of their usual, where Wavy pesters Solly mercilessly, they just coexisted and had fun! I loved it. And I love them.

Aaaaand the donut and iced coffee didn’t hurt either.
