It's a bit after 9 p.m. LJ just went down and I have finished cleaning up his toys. ( It's like a tornado hit when we play :) ) I hear the dryer in the background drying our last load of clothes (yay!). It's a relaxing night, and the day was even better.
When we woke up today, LJ and I took our time getting out of the house. He had some cinnamon toast crunch while I cooked his sausage and cut his fruit. After breakfast and cleaning up, we headed out on the bike, no particular destination in mind. We were going to go visit our friend and her new baby, but I think it takes them a little while in the morning -- as it does anyone with a newborn! Instead, we rode around then headed to the park. LJ played hard with some other boys who were probably about 4. They were picking up dead leaves, throwing them at the tree trunk, and LJ was laughing like it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen. I wish I could capture a giggle fit for you -- it is probably the BEST thing on earth to me. I really can't think of anything that makes me laugh out loud over and over. I don't know why he was laughing - it was just leaves, but it was hilarious to him.
At about 12:30, we hopped back on the bike to find a place to grab some food. I had cut up some fresh fruit for him and packed some goldfish, so we really just needed a meat and veggie. I found a great little restaurant, ( a little like a Northern City Cafe) and he had some chicken fingers while I had chicken salad. It was nice, and when we finished, we hopped back on the bike headed for home. After taking Rookie out and watching a little Blue's Clues, it was time for a nap.
He slept for almost two hours and was in SUCH a good mood after. He had a snack and a juice box then we headed to the gym. I wanted to do an exercise class tonight, and I figured the timing was good for LJ. I was right - he was rested, content and ready to play. She said he was awesome, so I'm going again tomorrow night. He was the only one in child care so they played all hour - mostly with the ball we brought.
After returning home, we at a bit of a late dinner before taking Rookie out to play one more time. Then, it was play-time before bath-time, now bed time. Lots of "times"....He knows what they all mean by now.
I hope you had a great day. Ours was wonderful. I miss Lance so much, but I don't know what I would do without LJ ...or Rookie. See the pictures below that I uploaded earlier. Rookie is yelling at me to "please throw his toy". LJ and I were leaving him out, I think. :)
Have a great night's sleep!
Love,
Jamie
