Today Joan and Dave took a day-long tour of the city sponsored by the embassy. So I've been on Aidan duty for 6 hours now. He normally goes to school from 8 until noon, and I was supposed to walk him to school and pick him up, but today he decided that he didn't want to go to school, and rather than make a big showdown of it, Joan and Dave decided that if he wanted to stay home he could. It was actually a good idea on Aidan's part, since there was a deluge at around 7:50 - right at the time I would have been walking home from dropping him off. Don't get me wrong, Aidan and I still got soaked playing in it, but at least we were having fun together and it wasn't just me getting drenched on my lonely walk home.
So Aidan stayed home and we took a walk, then played in the rain, then built a castle, then made peach and mango cobbler, then I cleaned up dog barf (my least favorite activity of the day thus far), then watched Pingu, then played with Aidan's remote controlled car in the driveway. And now we are watching more Pingu.
