what a great day

Yesterday, we had a pool party at a friend's house. All my work ladies and their kids- ranging in age from 18 months (big guy) to 10 years old. It was super fun! And I must say it was a great day with big guy, especially since he had been under the weather and kind of a grouch. Yesterday looked like it might go that way, but as in usual big guy style, he ended up in a great mood.

We started off by having a bad night sleep, ugh not good. we were all pretty miserable. Big guy was floundering all morning- you know, throwing himself around like a pissed off fish. He nor I could handle him being awake and grouchy, so I put him down for a nap at 10:15! REally, it was bad, even being outside didn't make him happy.

Big guy slept until about 12:20 and woke up in a great mood. We snuggled for a little bit and then sat and had some lunch. Big guy calmly ate his yogurt and puffs while looking at his truck book. After lunch, we suntan lotioned up and hit the road. Big guy calmly played with his car and looked at all the big trucks on the turnpike as we drove to the pool party.

We arrived and big guy was his perfect self. He swam in the pool for almost the entire two and a half hours we were there. He is a total water baby. He had no problem playing in the pool with the other kids- in fact he preferred to be held by my friend's ten year old daughter. She would swim with him, show him how to shoot balls into the basketball hoop by the side of the pool. Big guy was flirting with all the ladies, as usual. He was laughing, showing off his daring nature by attempting to jump into the pool, and being the general goofball he is.

big guy also had blueberries for the first time. They were in a fruit salad and I think he thought they were grapes. At first he wasn't too convinced they were yummy, but then he went to town. He must have eaten thirty blueberries. Hubs loves blueberries, too. I'll have to buy some next time at the supermarket. And at one point before we left big guy was in the pool being swayed back and forth and he was just making joyful moans. so cute!

He passed out on the way home. We had a light yogurt dinner and took a stroller ride to meet hubs at the train. Big guy was still in a great mood! Came home, took a bath, and got ready for bed. Then to top off our great day, big guy slept through the night for eleven hours. yay!
