Today was a very interesting day! Eli woke up this morning before 6 am so I know I was in for a trying day. He woke up in a pretty good mood though. I made orange buckwheat pancakes for breakfast and Eli loved them! I thought they were pretty good myself! Because of Eli getting up so early we were ready to go for the day really early. So, Eli and I left for the gym at the same time Thomas left for work. I had a great time working out I ran 6 miles straight and then walk a mile. When I picked up Eli from Kids Club he was crying. The workers said he just started right before I got there. They said a kid took the toy he was playing with and Eli just started crying. I was thinking oh no it's starting now. I knew he was going to start being cranky today since he had so little sleep.
After the gym Eli and I were going to run errands and then meet up with Thomas for lunch. Our first errands were going to be go to Hobby Lobby then to the Goodwill store and last to The Dollar Tree before heading down to spring for more errands. Eli did well in Hobby Lobby, he talked the whole time. He even said colors all through the store. He started to get fussy at the check out. When we got to the car and I was trying to put our purchases in the car Eli threw an all out tantrum! I sat in the car with him while I waited for him to calm down. After he finally calmed down I stood up with him and shut the door and that's when the dread hit me, I lifted the door handle and sure enough I had locked the car and I was looking at my purse (with the keys and cell phone) locked in the car. What's worse is i could not remember Thomas' cell number. Luckily Thomas' office was just a mile down Sawdust/Grogans Mill from Hobby Lobby. So off Eli and I went to Thomas' office. It was actually a nice morning for a walk too. Eli might be a light weight for a 19 month old but he still gets heavy and he would not get down and walk. We got to Thomas' office and he went and unlocked the car for us and then since it was just about lunch time by then we all just went down to Cheddar's for lunch. We had a good lunch with just a little fussiness. I decided to only do the errands that had to be done for the day and then head home to put Eli down for his nap. What I found out later is that a lady was robbed at The Dollar Tree shortly after Eli and I walked to Thomas' office. I am amazed how God watches out for me. That very well could have been me since I am such an easy target with having to deal with a toddler. I could be very upset for locking my keys in the car but now I am happy that the Lord saved me from the purse snatcher!
This evening I left my computer on, on top of the table and Eli was going crazy over the pictures on my screen saver. So I decided that we would sit down on the couch together and go through old pictures on the computer. Eli loved it! It was so fun watching him see the pictures and point out mama and daddy. Everytime he would see some one he knew he would get all excited. I also have video of Eli on the computer and we went trough some of those too and he would just laugh at him self. I had one video of me playing peek-a-boo with Eli behind the couch and Eli was just cracking up laughing at it and kept wanting me to replay it over and over.
Before Bedtime Eli and I were upstairs playing with puzzles and Eli put one puzzle all together all by himself! I am so proud of him, he is such a smart little boy!
