HMMM...

Brian and I decided to go to the YMCA and take advantage of the babysitting. I'm not a big fan of the gym, as is pretty well known, but I've put off exercising for long enough. I don't have any excuses left. So, off we went. We dropped Titus and Isabele off in the "kids center" and then we went to the cardio room. The machines all have TV's which is pretty neat, especially since they have a channel that shows the "kids center". Titus spent most of the 15 minutes wandering around watching the other kids. Isabele apparently never stopped crying from when I handed her to the lady who held her the whole time. So, 15 minutes in, I get paged overhead "Lydia Hoover please come to the Kids Center". As soon as I picked Isabele up, she stopped crying. Titus said, "Go see Daddy". He actually wasn't all that interested in leaving. I think he found the place interesting. Isabele wasn't going to have anything to do with being left again, so off we went.
We stopped in the cardio room so Titus could say bye to Daddy. On the way outside, Titus walked smack into the door to the cardio room = tears and crying. As I'm leading crying Titus out to the bike to ride home, I bonk Isabele's head on the exterior door = more tears. I think most of her crying was that Titus was crying and not that she was actually hurt. By the time I got them loaded into the bike, it started sprinkling. Titus was now crying just because he could. He stopped about a minute later when it really started to rain. By the time we got home, everyone had wet hair and faces. No one melted, as we are not made of sugar :-).
I made mini ice cream cones for Titus and Isabele and we sat on the porch, eating cones while it rained.
Hopefully the next attempt at dropping the kids off so I can exercise for 30 minutes will be a bit more sucessful. Maybe I'll come armed with Isabele's blanket and some toys and set her up in a little spot where she can see Titus.
