Playdate with Raya

Candice and I trade childcare when either of us need it so today was my turn. Candice had several things to do and Raya and Priyasha are best buddies. Raya ended up coming over earlier than planned but that was fine. The girls had a good time playing on the trampoline and we had a picnic lunch in the backyard. It was in the 90's today but they insisted on jumping. The trampoline is really great to tire the kids out.
It was a very easy morning with the girls. They played well together and they both took long naps. While they napped I took the opportunity to sew Pravan comforter. Finally I pulled out the transformer and spider man fabric. It was already cut to size but it was a process to add the velcro and get it to fit right. I sewed some ribbon onto the feather down and then matched it to ribbon on the coverlet. I then tied it together to keep them from moving on the bed. Pravan already had a great quilt I made when he was two. I have no room for it so I left it on the bed and added the sheets on top of it. This made his bed extra comfy and soft. He loves his new comforter and loves to just plop down on it and ounce around. It feels like landing on a cloud.
When Pravan got of the bus he was so excited. Today one of the balloons landed on his playground at school. All the kids. It was the highlight of his day. This balloon was called the Mayflower and it had a picture of a ship on it. He talked about it for about 30 min .He was one of many kids that helped the man fold up the balloon and decompress it. He even brought home the pilots business card. He was not so happy to learn that Raya was here. He was disappointed that Priyasha and Raya always get to play and he never gets to see Dylan. I promised him that we would plan a after school play date next week. I cooked dinner after Raya was picked up and we had an early night.Pravan is looking forward to seeing the Mayflower again.
