This weekend was one of those awesome weekends. Saturday big guy and I went to the toys r us to go get our educational board games. And something startling about big guy, he's old enough to start playing some board games. One game we got was memory. Which big guy plays on an iPad app, but I wanted some real cards and more of them. He's actually really good at the game of memory. He handles the one on the app which has eight cards with no problem, but we played tonight with sixteen with no problem. Anyway, following the toys r us, we went to the Home Depot. Which is big guys new favorite place to go. We were doing a follow up trip to purchase an above ground planted for some veggies. We scored some organic soil and a free bag of popcorn. Surprisingly big guy tanked the whole bag, even though we had just eaten a huge pancake and bacon breakfast! Big I think that's a boy thing!
Following big guy and I both napping, we got up and hubs grilled us some hot dogs. We had some corn and chips on the side. Big guy tanked a dog, then ate about a pound of corn. Following dinner, big guy and I walked to the local bakery to get some cupcakes. Big guy brought his little plastic shopping cart with us on the walk. It was so cute because after he ordered his cupcakes and put them in his cart, he was like, bye bye and tried to escape. Then after discussing how we had to pay, he wouldn't even let me out my brownies into his cart! He was like, "no mommy, my cupcakes!" Then we stopped at the park and ate a cupcake, while playing for a bit. We headed home and then big guy slept awesome!
Today we had our normal Sunday brunch of bagels, cream cheese, eggs, turkey ham, and chocolate chip muffins. And big guy tanked it all! We went to the zoo after that to meet up with gmom C, pop pop J, and uncle I. We had so much fun. It was a little chilly upon arrival, but we stayed in the sun. We saw the cheetah, tortoises, fed some ducks, pet a goat, talked to the chickens, showed the family our favorite monkeys- squirrel monkeys, and saw all the napping big cats. Probably the most fun was riding the carousel and train. An overall wonderful trip. Big guy drifted to sleep in the car, but woke up when we got home and he realized hubs was home.
We watched the polar express and played our fishing game. Then we went for some burritos and chips. We also bought big guy a new pair of sunglasses, since I lost his at the zoo. He was pretty devastated. I walked all over the children's zoo looking for them but no luck. After dinner, we played a new Mickey Mouse interactive app on the iPad and just hung out. Big guy was pretty tired still from the shortened nap. And he was talking so much in bed I actually had to tell him to be quiet because it was time for bed. But I wouldn't have him any other way. His talking makes me smile everyday. And he was in such good spirits this weekend. Like he's this little person all of a sudden who listens to directions and is interested in doing new and interesting things. It was just an amazing weekend! And I'm so excited for summer now!
