Or, how did I get so dumb? So, I'm in the kitchen earlier getting dinner ready to put in the oven (for me and Dean anyway, Roy already ate) and Roy was running around the kitchen "playing football". If you've seen him do this, you know what I'm talking about. He runs around with a football and eventually falls down and says "Roy get tackled". Well, he was wearing socks without the little nubby sticky things (that's the technical term) on the bottom so he slipped on the wood floor a couple of times. I told him that maybe he should go play football in the living room where it's carpeted so he wouldn't slip. But my son knew what any smart person would know - if you take your socks off it's a lot harder to slip on bare feet! Why didn't I think of that? And he continued to play football until I was done in the kitchen. Now he's attempting to disassemble Stretch from his Handy Manny toolbox using Phillipe. If you are over the age of 4 or you don't have kids, you will have no idea what that last sentence means.
Did I mention he did NOT take a nap again today? Second time this week. I've got news for him if he thinks he's dropping his nap. He still spends time up in his crib, reading books, talking, occasionally throwing things and I'm not ready for him to not have this "quiet time" every day. And I'm not ready for ME to not have this quiet time every day.
On the other hand, Jack went down around 3:30 today and is still asleep. I'm envisioning he'll get up around 9 or 10, eat and go back to sleep. This is what I'm envisioning. We'll see if that actually happens. He's either having a growth spurt or he's getting over the nasal stuffiness he and I have had. I don't know how it's been for him, but I've felt fine - just annoyed by the fact that my nose is stuffy. I'm pretty sure my friend Bre gave me this "cold" - so thank you to her!
Jack and I went to Chuck E. Cheese today for our regular Friday playgroup. It's actually Roy's playgroup, but since he's in school on MWF now Jack and I go alone. I get to see my mom friends and Jack gets to see his friends Jane and Piper (future girlfriends/prom dates in my mind). It was a good time, and no one said a word to me about the Caramel Frappacino that I brought in with me. I knew I probably shouldn't, but I seriously needed a Frappacino fix. Okay, I didn't need it, but it did make the day much more pleasant for me (and probably for those around me). Starbucks really should be sued for making addicts out of us all. Coffee pushers! There ought to be a law!
