After the grandparents left and Stuart returned to work, I took the boys to watch Sing on Wednesday.  We had ourselves situated comfortably with popcorn and a small blanket, and we were ready.  The entire movie was great and all three of us enjoyed it very much. 

    On Thursday, we planned to watch Maxim while his parents worked.  Maxim came to our house around 8:30am, and the three of them went to play in the bonus room immediately.  They were good and taking breaks without prompting in between video games to go to the backyard to play Two Square.  Rohan wanted to come over to play too, so he arrived at 11am.  The four boys played well altogether with a Tablet or Xbox, or as a group for Two Squares in the backyard.  After I fed them lunch and a short break, I took all four boys to walk to school to play at the playground.  Of course the only thing they wanted to play was Four Squares and I was recruited to be in the rotation too.  Logan and Maxim seemed to be the best and they both were the King often.  Connor had very good hits but he got out sometimes too.  Rohan and I were the least experienced and easily got out.  They all had a good time and we played over 30 minutes before we slowly headed home.  While they played in the house again, I made them some cookies for snacks.  By 3:20pm, Maxim was picked up, and later Vrinda and Nanda came over at 5pm to take Rohan home.  Both Logan and Connor had fun with this longest play day.  However Connor had a couple of times getting grumpy; he would sadly tell me that ‘I always play with what they wanted to play but they don’t play with what I want to play”.  We know that Connor is quite bossy and we see how he gets upset when things do not go his way.  At the end, we told Connor that he needs to learn to play better together otherwise he might not be able to share playdates with Logan later.
