The other day Paisley and I had one of those perfect days. It was so much fun!! Paisley was out of school for UEA break and Tad had to go to Cedar City, so it was just the two of us. We decided to head to the Provo Towne Center Mall--they have the little quarter rides that Paisley loves so much. We got there and did a little shopping (of course), and then we hit the rides like crazy!! We used a whole roll of quarters and rode all the rides. She had ice cream and then we hit the rides again. They even had their little train going so we rode that and then got our pictures taken in the photo booth. (I tried to scan them on the computer but you couldn't really see them--not the highest quality). It was soooo much fun. Sometimes when we try and plan things they don't work out for some reason or the other but this was just a perfect day, Paisley was feeling well, she was in a mood to have fun, and we found the thing that she found interesting. It was one of those great moments as a mother that I will always remember. (The above picture was taken in Maryland this summer doing the same thing).
This last Saturday we went on our annual adventure to BarnYard Boo at Thanksgiving Point. Paisley seems to really enjoy this. And this year she knew exactly what to do at all of the adventure stops. She wanted to feed the goats and ride the horses and she even knew how to do the ring toss (repetition is a good thing). BarnYard Boo is the perfect adventure level for Paisley. She doesn't have to participate in anything she doesn't want to. She gets to watch the other children and she gets to do all of the activities (including picking a prize). I could really tell a difference this year in her attention level. She actually watched to animals, the goats she really held out her hand to feed them and she was very excited about riding the horses. Grandma came and so of course it was a perfect day for Paisley. Anything that includes Grandma is usually a really good thing in Paisley's eyes.
