sevigny stories: Pony Party and Outdoor fun!

This morning we picked up AJ from his sleepover with his cousins at Baba and Dziadzi's and headed up to Whip-o-Will Stables in Dudley, MA for Xavier's 3rd birthday party. It was a gorgeous day for the kiddos to ride a horse, pet a bunny and check out the goats and chickens around the farm. On our way up to the party, we were explaining to AJ that he would be able to ride a pony and that he needed to be brave. When it was finally his turn to get on the horse, he was a little hesitant, but with a little coaxing from Mommy and Daddy he got on. They went around the barn three times and Daddy stayed right by his side the whole time. He looked so serious while on the horse, but absolutely loved the ride! When he got off he was all smiles and said 'Mommy, I was brave!!' We were so proud of our little guy for trying a new experience!!

We had to leave the party a little early because Chloe desperately needed to take a nap. We decided to take some back roads home and make our drive a little bit longer so both kiddos could get in a nap. After about an hour or so ride, we were home and the kiddos were refreshed! We headed outside to play on the water table and in the sandbox. Miss Chloe can now stand up at the water table all by herself and was loving the water and dinosaurs! And AJ was super excited because Mommy brought out new dinosaur glaciers and he got to free them from the ice! Next up was the sandbox, although Miss Chloe is a trouble maker in that sandbox! She so slyly dips her fingers in the sand and then brings them to her mouth all covered in sand! YUCK! She thinks it's hilarious though because every time she does it I try to stop her and say no so it's now a game! But Mommy was a meanie and won the game because back to the water we went, while AJ got to continue playing in the sandbox!
