yesterday we went to NJ for visit Uncle E, Aunt K, and cousin C. C has become a soccer star recently, so we went to his championship game. luckily, the game was at this huge park near their house that has five playgrounds, duck pond, three court san volleyball pit, and lots of open space to run! which are all things that big guy loves to do!
we headed to the game. and after about five solid minutes of a full on freak out- sobbing, kicking, trying to rip his coat off, we finally made it to the playground. we ran around on the playground until we saw the huge sand pit! big guy ripped his shoes off and had a blast. hubs finally got a glimpse of how much big guy loves the beach. he ran dug holes, filled holes with leaves, then jumped in the holes! it was hilarious. finally, he had gotten out whatever running energy he needed to and we walked over to the field. big guy really enjoyed watching soccer. nothing is better than a soccer ball and lots of running.
We headed back to their house and had a quick lunch. then we played with C's geotrax train tracks and trains. like for the next seven hours! it was awesome. And instead of taking a nap, we watched "the Polar Express" an xmas movie with a giant train as one of the main components of the movie. it was essentially big guy's dream movie! train action for over an hour. Big guy's eyes were wide open the whole time. and when it was over, he demanded another viewing! so precious.
big guy refused to eat dinner, but he did have some pretzels following a bath and getting into PJ's. big guy was very sad to leave. and after a sad bye bye to the trains, he passed out mere moments later in the car. And had a great night's sleep once I plopped him in bed. Yay for family time!
