Kindie Rock

There was a free music festival in Seattle today. It was called Share The Music and it was put on by a group of musicians who call themselves Kindiependent. Check out their webpage at www.kindiependent.com, or click on the link from the previous sentence. We think this is pretty great. Indie music for kids and parents to enjoy. "Kindie rock" will probably one of those names, like "Foodie," that'll annoy some people that such a name exists, but we are into it. It's clever and it totally fits.

On a whim, we decided to go to this mini-music festival. We packed up some provisions and got the boys on a bus headed downtown. It was great. We even had to transfer busses. We stopped at M Street Grocery for lunch items to take with us. To make our lives easier, we got both boys a corn dog each.David sent his mom a picture of Ty and his corndog, and she guessed he would eat the whole thing. He didn't! Neither of them did, but Vin ate more than Ty.

We made it home in time for naps, and then headed back out to Vincent's preschool class' end of the year potluck. Tyler wanted to get right in with the big kids, but stayed on the sideline shoveling dirt instead. Vincent ran around with a couple of bigger boys, too. Later, once everyone else had left (somehow we're always the last to leave), Vincent played with the twins whose house we were at. They were all have so much fun, Vincent peed in his pants, and Rhys, the boy, didn't want to go inside to pee, when it was clear he really had to go. So funny how bodily functions are secondary to toddlers.
Lastly, it's been over a week since the boys started sharing a room. Evenings are better. Vincent ends up getting to bed pretty late, like 9pm. Tyler has been waking earlier in the mornings. Most days he wakes Vincent, too. The other day, both boys got up, but definitely needed more sleep. David successfully got them both, and us, back to sleep. Seems that was a one-hit wonder.
