You are finally feeling better. Your ears must have cleared up. But, we are still taking you to the ENT next week to see if you need tubes. If you do, I would like to have them done before your brother comes. It is so nice to have your personality back to normal versus you being sick.
You are getting to be really ornery, kid. If you don't get your way, you scream bloody murder. It isn't even a crying temper tantrum. It is like a caveman scream. We just look at you and laugh which doesn't make you any happier. haha. I am not sure how we parent those little fits away except to ignore you and be consistent in not giving in.
You are also using new techniques to try to manipulate me. You wanted to go behind my recliner but I wouldn't let you. So, you stood by the recliner and started making kissing noises to me. I get all mushy when you give me kisses so I bent down to give you kisses and immediately after the smooch, you tried to get behind the recliner. Yeah, buddy, the kisses may get you so far but not get away with everything. I really, really do love it when you pucker up, make the kisses sound then give me smooches :)
Not a ton to share with you about your activities. You have continued hanging out with Uncle Zachary, Grampa, Heather, Gramma Debbie and Great Gramma Lang for that hour or so after daycare. Our system seems to be working out.
Last weekend, I took you to Children's Museum for an hour. It was our first alone outing since I started having problems with Joey. We used your stroller and I didn't lift you much at all. I didn't get any cramping so that was a good but I was definitely worn out and had some activity in Joey's vicinity. You had a great time there - as always. I got a little sentimental in the ball room because it brought me flashbacks of you walking for the first time. I also got a little sentimental on the race track. Just seeing you walking a bike around the track with all those little kids made me realize what a big boy you are!
On Sunday, you and I played in the backyard for a few minutes. We got you a little t-ball set so I was trying to show you how to use it. You liked that for about 5 minutes. Then, we took our short little walk to Harrison Street with you in your stroller. Finally, we played in the driveway for over an hour! Daddy & I worked on shoveling out the garage while you roamed all over. I sure do love being outside right now. It is so nice when the weather cooperates. We even had you in shorts and flip flops - it was that warm.
On Tuesday, we got to see Gramma Debi D! You were hamming it up with her. I thought it would take you a bit longer to warm up to her since it had been awhile since you saw her. But, it only took a few minutes before you two were feeding each other and you were flirting up a storm. Afterwards, we went to Strokers to see Grampa on his birthday. He was so excited to show you off to his friends. We had yummy cake and you got to see your Uncle Tyler too.
Well buddy, that is about it. Just hanging out and waiting for the weather to warm up a bit. Also waiting for your swing set to arrive on Monday. Here are a few photos that I took on my phone....
I totally had to get a photo of you in your shorts & flip flops. :)
You enjoying Grampa Keith's birthday cake on Tuesday.
Children's museum slide. You would climb up on your own and scoot down.
