Lucas slept through the night last night. At breakfast I got out Apple Jacks and he said no the other one. So I had to give him Lucky Charms again. He ate the marshmallows first but did eat some of the good stuff too. He had a whole spoonful of yogurt before he was done with that. But he ate more today than yesterday. He likes to sit on my lap so he can see into the living room and watch tv while he eats. I guess that's a start, he's not eating in the living room. It's raining today so we couldn't go outside this morning to play. We played inside, with the dogs (yes, they came inside too) and watched a little Elmo before nap time. He went down for his nap without argument, putting all his babies in the bed before he got in. He's been so good about going to bed. Tonight, again after his bath, he went right to bed. He had another long day though.
We went up to Bouncertown in Greenwood. We stopped in Franklin to get the girls and they played at the house for a few minutes before he left. It took Lucas no time at all to make himself at home. He started playing with the toys in the living room and then without hesitation made his way into Abby's room and took some toys from there to play with. We met Charlee and Grace and their boys and convoyed up there. Bouncertown is a big room with those blow up bouncy houses and slides. There's also games to play that spit out tickets for prizes, like a Chucky Cheese. Lucas is a jumper anyway, so this was his heaven. He jumped and jumped and jumped some more. I kept him in the 3 and under area first but again, it wasn't long before he needed to move on. He did well amongst the bigger kids, even getting trampled a couple times. He really enjoyed climbing up and sliding down on the big dragon. The only thing he didn't go on were the big slides. Just a little too much for him right now I think. He was having so much fun and often got caught up in the moment. He would hug other little kids, often knocking them down. He would fall down with them and just laugh and laugh. Some of the kids (and their parents) didn't appreciate the hugs as much as Lucas did and I had to tell him to stop a few times. I just want to interject one thought here: to those parents that looked at my little nephew with disgust because he knocked down your precious boy, don't come to Bouncertown. He meant no harm and was innocent. I understand your concern for your child, but the looks have got to go. He's two. Okay, I'm done. We had a pizza while we were there, and since we stayed so long (about 4 hours) we also got an ice cream cone too. The nice man put sprinkles on his cone and of course, he at off all the sprinkles. It was a yummy, sticky mess. He was really cute playing with Abby today too. They would jump and play together. They even held hands walking around looking at the games once. If they were separated, I would tell Lucas where Abby was and he would go run to her or Jill would tell Abby where Lucas was. At one point they were wrestling around so much if they were any older it would have been inappropriate in public! They're so cute and I'm glad they get along. They still have their little tiffs as any toddlers would, but for the most part they have fun. Lucas did really well when it was time to stop bouncing to eat and to go home. I thought I would have a struggle but he went without argument.
We got home and started dinner. I had Lucas stand on the chair and pour all the food into the pan and stir it. Then we went and looked at the pictures and videos from today. He thought the videos were just the funniest thing ever. We barely made it through the videos and he was telling me nigh-nigh. We did manage to get through dinner, which turned into a game without me realizing it. I was saying yummy and and moving my head around and Lucas started saying "my turn" and then he would take a bite and say yummy and move is head around. Then I would have to do it and so on. It was a good way to keep him eating. We didn't even have the tv on! He did really well at lunch and dinner and actually snacked on Teddy Grahams the whole way home. I didn't think he'd eat a bit of dinner but he did and a good amount too.
He poo-poo'd 3 times, telling me each time. The first time was just a little bit in his diaper by the time I got him to the toilet. Then he said it again after dinner but it was already too late and so I just changed his diaper. Not even 10 minutes later he poo'd again. It's probably good that it wasn't all in one diaper, would have been a very full load! It was a good time to start a bath and so he had his dinosaur pooping again in the tub. I guess it was a night for #2's! The house is so quiet when he's in bed. I enjoy the time to catch up on housework and computer time, but I kinda miss him. I don't know what I'll do when he leaves, it'll really be quiet.
