It's hard to believe that my six weeks is almost over! Seems like it just began and there's still so much I need to do! Like make a cheese cake to take to work as a big thank you and bake and decorate sugar cookies for Hayden's daycare Halloween party! But after a weekend of friends and football (including a big Cowboys victory!) it's hard to be upset!
I decided to keep Hayden home from daycare on Monday; I wanted to spend the day with both boys since it would be the last non-weekend/holiday day I would get to! So because the weather was so nice (and because Hayden had been super hyper all weekend) I thought a trip to the park would be good for all of us! The plan was to mid-morning but of course even the most well-laid plans turn into epic failures these days! Getting both boys ready was a trial. Hayden has turned into a super-staller (he can find a million different ways to not have to get dressed) and Tucker just likes to snack (he nurses for 10 minutes, burps, and falls asleep and when you lay him down because you don't think he's gonna wake up to finish he decides to let out a high pitch whine!). Needless to say by the time both kids and myself were ready to go it was almost lunch time!
So a few PB&Js some carrots and grapes and we had ourselves a little picnic at the park! With Tucker happy in his carseat, a breeze blowing across his face, Hayden had fun playing at the playground. The fun didn't last too terribly long though before Hayden needed to go potty. Word of warning - the bathrooms at Lakeside park are DISGUSTING! Thankfully Hayden can potty standing up or I may have told him to just pee his pants! I was going to let Hayden play some more but about 3 minutes later he told me he needed to poop! Somehow I managed to convince him to hold it just a few minutes - long enough to get home first!
The pooping never happened though - not in the bathroom or in his pants (thank the lord!). But it was soo nice out I couldn't make the kid stay cooped up inside. Instead Hayden rode his tricycle around the garage/driveway (even taking his Luke Skywalker "guy" for a ride on the back step) and we played with the sidewalk chalk.
For whatever reason, every time we play with the chalk I write out all of our names. Anytime Hayden sees the letter "H" he yells "that says Hayden" - no matter what the word is! Today was no exception and as soon as I had his name written out that's what he yells. So we went through each letter in his name with him repeating what I say. Next thing I know he's writing the letter "H" with the chalk in his hand! Didn't know he knew what the letter was but was pretty impressed just the same!
After an hour of playing Hayden was ready for a nap. And mom decided to get overly ambitious. I thought it was a good idea to start making cookies (without the cutter shape I needed) and with limited time before my eye doctor appointment. By the time that was over with it was almost 6:30 and I still had to make supper! Two hours later supper was ready and cookies were all baked and the kitchen was an absolute disaster. But everyone was fed and happy (even Tucker who was a trooper and didn't start crying until I was almost done with supper)
