Oh goodness, has it been a week! While we had some fun for the first part of the week (getting Little Buddy to actually try some lettuce, tomato, and green pepper for the first time--smothered in ranch, of course, but he ate them!) and learning about plants, Momma also had to combat a bad 24 hour stomach bug. No fun at all!
Checking out our new flower pot. We are going to water it every day and check for any changes!
We going to be impatient for our impatiens to grow! Haha, see what I did there? ;)
Thankfully, I was all better by Monday, so Little Buddy and I decided to join our friends at My Gym for a playdate on Tuesday. Little Buddy had a great time, so we decided to sign him up for a few classes to try it out. Hopefully he likes it as much as he did this week!
Playing with friends.
Enjoying the trampoline. Maybe he'll finally learn how to jump on his own!
Ball pit!
Eating some nuggets after play time. He did a great job sitting in a big boy chair! He's really starting to grow up. I even let him "walk" next to me in Target today, instead of putting him in the cart. Slowly but surely, he's starting to get the "stay with Momma" concept.
On Wednesday, Little Buddy told me he wasn't feeling well, so I kept him home from school , worried he had caught something from me. Thankfully some snuggles and some Elmo watching rejuvenated him and he was bouncing off the walls by lunch time!
I'm not going to lie, letting him sleep on me was one of the highlights of my week. This so rarely happens anymore. I am glad, though, that he just needed some extra rest.
Elmo has magic healing powers.
And all smiles again!
We spent the rest of the week playing together and on Friday we took a trip to a fire station! The fire fighters gave us a great tour and all the kids had a blast! We then had a picnic lunch at a local park afterwards. All was well until Little Buddy tripped on some stone stairs and gave himself a big head bump! Oh how I hate it when he gets these goose eggs! My poor boy! Thankfully, after a good cry and some cuddles, he was ready to play again, but that bump is going to be there for weeks!
Momma felt brave, so we painted inside. It didn't go too badly!
Newly painted kitty and puppy!
"Would you like to wear a hat today?" "No!" Pauses, reconsiders, and the refuses to leave the house without
his chosen hat.
I was impressed; he kept it on at the park, during
errands, and through lunch. He was committed!
Very intent on his first Light Brite project!
Pretty impressed with the glowing ice cream cone!
Making his own ball pit!
Loving the fire trucks!
All the kids had a great time with the hose!
"Uh, Momma, why do I have this big coat on?"
All the kiddos!
Lots of space to let our wild animals run free at the park!
My poor baby and his newest goose egg! Ouchie!
Our week finished up with me running in my second half marathon. After the month of school fatigue, travel, no training time, and then a severe stomach bug, I really wasn't sure if I was going to run it. I woke up on Saturday morning and decided that I would regret not trying and that if I felt terrible, I could always stop. Miraculously, I made it all 13.1 miles, running! It wasn't my fastest time, but I was proud that I did it. Having Daddy and Little Buddy cheer for me at three spots on the course and at the finish made it all the sweeter. Love my cheerleaders!
My running group.
"Momma run fast!"
Hopefully this coming week will have a little more down time for all of us! We do hope to get Little Buddy down to the rodeo sometime this month, so that is something to look forward to!
Night all,
LBM
