Jury Duty

I was selected for jury duty and served on a jury Monday - Thursday.  I really didn't want to be on a jury, but I'm glad I was chosen.  This was a great opportunity to see how our justice system works.  I also realized I could never be a lawyer.  Lots of patients and willing to reword a question 20 times before its approved.  I spent more time sitting and waiting this week than I think I have in months.  A year ago we got rid of our daycare for Kaiden and we hired Hannah, an EWU college student to babysit for us.  Being a college student she's not available until after lunch, so that meant Kaiden would have to go to jury duty with me.  Jason stayed home the first day.  During our orientation to jury duty they told us about an on-site daycare available for jurors.  Perfect solution!  I dropped Kaiden off the following 3 days for my jury duty.  Great daycare!  Wonderful, caring ladies.  TONS of toy stations.  Very secure- metal detector with security to enter building, locked daycare center, etc.  Every day Kaiden and I would walk to a restaurant and enjoy our lunch together.  Jason left work early to get him Tuesday and Wednesday.  Kaiden loved it.  In fact he was mad that Jason picked him up early.. he wanted to stay and play longer.  Most of the time it was just Kaiden and the 2 daycare ladies, which he loved all the attention.  A few kids his age did play there for a short amount of time.  After my juror service was over Kaiden and I stopped at a new store we discovered this week.  I wanted to thank my family for helping me during this process.  Kaiden picked out a chocolate mint cupcake for himself, a fudge brownie for Connor and Jason's favorite a huge chocolate no-bake cookie.  The daycare ladies raved over how polite and well-mannered Kaiden is.  I hear that a lot about both my boys.  They are such caring, loving, sharing, giving, polite, kind hearted kids.  They make me very proud to be their mom.  I also get lots of comments about how incredible their vocabulary is.  The daycare ladies were sad to see Kaiden go.  They let him pick out a new play doh to take with him (one of the activities Kaiden loves to do).  He chose brown.
