Update on this is going to be fun

So last Friday we went to the Academy for the family day and it went really well. Firstly because we went out Thurs and stayed in a hotel so that the children wouldn't be stir crazy from 4 hours in the van. And secondly because they did plan on having small children there.

In the afternoon when most of the classes that I had to attend took place, several of the teachers took the children and they played games, went to a museum that is on the base, and watched movies. So I only had Tavis for most of the afternoon and he just nursed and played quietly. They brought Nahli to me when she got cranky and then Nahli laid herself down on the floor and went to sleep. Everyone was so helpful and understanding about the littles.

It was cute, when we got to watch Tony in his Defensive Tactics class all the children (not just mine) were yelling "hi, daddy, look there's my daddy." and the teacher was laughing at how cute they all were. And then when they were practicing the tactics K and N thought it was hilarious and were laughing so hard that all the adults were chuckling too.

We also had a good NIP experience there. I was nursing little T early in the morning and one of the teachers asked me if I needed a towel or anything and I just said, "no thanks, I'm fine." and he said ok like it was no big deal. Of course at the Police Academy you would expect them to know the laws about such a thing, and here in Iowa our right to nurse in public is protected.
