Lucas and I met Jill and Abby for the free Wednesday morning movie in Franklin. Today Horton Hears a Who was the featured film. This was Lucas' first time to the movie theatre and he really enjoyed it. He ate all of his popcorn and still wanted more. He was amazed at the big "tv" and just seemed beside himself with excitement. He almost made it almost all of the way through the movie too. I had to take him out, not because he was crying, but because he got up and started singing ring around the rosey. He did really well though for not having his morning nap and waiting for 30 minutes before the show even started. We just went out in the lobby and pretended to play driving games and he danced a little to the music.
We went to Jill's afterwards for lunch and playtime. We ate lunch and then the kids played for a little bit. I don't think Lucas is used to so many "girl"toys and he really liked feeding the baby a bottle. he would hold the baby in his arms and rock it while feeding it the bottle. It was so precious. They played in Abby's tent and with her other toys. When Lucas wanted me to hold him like a baby and he wanted his blanket I knew his was tired and ready for a nap so we headed home. He didn't even last 5 minutes and he was out. When we got home I carried him up to bed and he didn't wake once. In fact, he probably would have slept longer than the 2 hours I let him sleep, but I kinda woke him up. Well, I didn't want him to sleep all afternoon and then not sleep tonight and I wanted to play for a little bit.
After he got up we played games. We danced around the kitchen table singing abc's and Lucas invented another game with the remote. I would dance to the music on the show and he would turn the tv off. I would flop on the couch and then run over and tickle him and then he'd turn it back on. We went into town to pick up a few things and he helped me push the cart around Walmart and put the items in the cart. He also thought I needed some additional items, like tinfoil and pancake mix! The things he was grabbing were so random, but he really felt I needed them. We came home and had some dinner. He didn't have a big appetite, but he ate so much during the day and I fed him again before his bath. After dinner we played with some play-doh. He kept smelling it and didn't really like it when it stuck on his fingers. He hates when his hands are dirty. But he had fun making stacks of play-doh on top of the containers and knocking them over. He also liked sqooshing it and using the cookie cutters to make little people. I was impressed that he made sure to put the right color lids on the containers when he was done playing. After that we played outside. He rode his bike for a little bit, but has become so terribly afraid of bees and he kept seeing bugs fly around that he didn't ride around for long. But he did insist on going into the backyard to play on the swing set. I feel like I pushed him on the swing forever. He never wanted to stop. He had such a good time, just squeeling with enjoyment. He slid down the slide once, but was done after that because it was still wet from the rain. After his bath he grabbed his babies and blanket and wanted to sleep on the couch. This is where he starts getting comfortable in my home. I told him no, laid him down in the bed, and with no more arguments, he went to sleep. He was pretty tired today. He was slightly crabby and needy than usual. He got frustrated easily and let me know he was frustrated. Hopefully he sleeps well tonight. He slept well last night but did call out my name once around 10:30. He never did get up so I don't know if he was sleeping or just went back to sleep. We'll probably have another big day tomorrow so he needs his rest. I can't believe tomorrow is already Thurday!
