The Breakthrough

Thursday Hannah and Jacob had a breakthrough at the burger king. They both went up to the 2nd story part of the play place and slid down the slide all by themselves. Hannah hasn't done that before and Jacob hasn't done a big slide of any sort by himself before. This spontaneous burst of courage was very timely because Saturday Jacob went to Lucas' birthday party and he just climbed right up that slide, flew down it, and landed in the pool. I was so proud of him. The third time his face went under the water and he was done.

So now I have this dilema, I don't want them to lose this new skill (it is so sad to see your 4 year old trying to convince other kids to play ring a round the rosy at the play place while they zip by her to climb up, or to see other kids invite her to come with them and she tells them, "I'll wait for you at the bottom of the slide") but I don't want to go to Burger King. Not the hugest fan of their food, don't need the calories, hate spending that much money for lunch. Ughh. What to do.
