My plan for spring break was to lay low and just wait till things got back to normal. It sounded like a good plan to me. I don't know what happened to my layed back week but it got jammed packed!
Wednesday or Saint Patrick's Day was a blast. Eli and I started our day at the gym and then made our way over to Gymboree where Eli was a crazy man! Then we went and picked up Nana from the mall so we could head over to Pot Bellies for lunch. After hanging out at Market street for a bit we took Nana to Berripop for some frozen yogurt. By the time we were finished with our yogurt Eli was pretty much pooped and we took Nana back to her car and we went home for a nap!
After nap Thomas Eli and I hung around outside until dinner and then went back outside until bathtime! it was such a fun day!
After a fun filled Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday we went visiting on Thursday. My mom came and picked us up so we could drive down to Baytown together. We went to go visit my Granny and take her to lunch. Once we got to granny's house we decided to go over and visit with my aunt who was watching Eli's closest cousin (in age), Sean. we let the boys play together while we visited.
Eli was having such a good time playing with Sean that he went right past his lunch time without stopping! We finally went and got lunch an hour past when Eli normally eats. I have to take Eli to play with Sean more often. After lunch I thought we would take Eli over to San Jacinto Mall to let him run around a bit before we headed on home. I was hopping to get him all tired out so that he would pass out in the car on the way home. Nana took him on the carousel while we were there.
After the carousel we headed for home. My grand plans of getting Eli to sleep on the way failed to include the Nana that sat next to him in the back. She kept playing peek-a-boo with him. And when I said something to her about keeping the boy awake she goes "well he started playing with me first!". So Eli finally fell alseep when we were only 20 mins from home. And of course when wee got home he woke up and wouldn't go back down for a nap!
Friday I decided would be a good day to take Eli to the park since Saturday was suppose to be raining. After the gym Eli and I made our way over to Northshore park. We played around on the equipment while we waited for our friends to show up. We had a good turn out, Rhonda, Bill and Jack, Carolina and David, and Clare and Chloe all came out to play in the beautiful day! Thomas even came and joined us. We also ran into 2 other Gymboree paymates, Grayson and Reagan. By the time we decided to leave, the park was so packed that there was no parking spaces and it took us 10 minutes to get out of the parking lot! Eli played so hard he passed out quickly in the car on the way home. After nap we took Eli to run errends in Spring and then treated him to Chick-fil-A, which he loved because he loves cows and was mooing all over the place! When we came home Eli and Thomas spent the rest of the evening on the patio until bathtime.
On Saturday we decided that since it was going to rain all day we would take Eli to Nana and Papa's house to spend time with them and Granny. We had a fabulous time! Granny was chasing Eli around the house and every time "circle" Eli would run to me to get "away" from granny. I was kind of his home base! He would also grab a bit of yogurt for energy. It was so funny, I wish I would have gotten pictures of Eli playing with his granny. On our way home Thomas and I stopped by Academy to see about getting some lawn chairs. We went down one aisle that had toy animals that made noise. Eli picked up a dinosaur and pressed the button to make him roar and of course Eli started roaring too. But then he started walking like a dinosaur like we have seen Mono do on Yo Gabba Gabba. It was so cute. When we got home Thomas asked him to walk like a dinosaur and he did it again. Of course I didn't have my camera and when I do he wont do it. Eli also learned to baa like a sheep. Except his baa sounds more like ahhh. Eli also learned to say boo which comes out baa. We are learning that Eli says a lot but you just can't understand him. Thomas and I are starting to decode some of it.
This week Eli has started a new routine with his daddy. He has a second breakfast. He will eat all his oatmeal that I feed him when I get him up but then when daddy gets up and fixes his breakfast Eli has to eat some of that too with daddy!
Yum, Daddy's bagel
don't think your getting this bagel back!
Tonight when I went to check on Eli this is what I found
