Taylor tells me on Tuesday night (the night before her party), "I'm having a boring day." I thought she meant her day had been boring so far so I started reminding her of all the things we had done - arts and crafts class, gone to the zoo, picked up dinner and then had a friend over to eat plus played on the trampoline at the neighbor's house. BORING??? But she clarified, she WANTS to have a boring day. To Taylor, a "boring" day is a day at home that she can do things she wants to do - it does NOT have the negative meaning most of us think of related to boring. In other words, she doesn't want to go do things, she just wants to hang out. The first half of our summer isn't "boring" enough for Taylor - too many activities (even if it is just picking up Alyssa from swim every morning, it means we have to get up and get going).
For Taylor, I'm hoping we have a "boring" day on Monday (tomorrow won't be because we are going up the canyon to get our camping spot and then setting up camp!). I could use a few more "boring" days in my life too!!
The rain helped her out ... "boring" day on Friday since we aren't going camping - don't want to deal with rain! :)
