Birthday Bash and Crash

Wow!  What a day this has been in both good and not so good ways.  This morning was a big birthday party that my 2 year old went too.  Now, being that it is the middle of July, it makes perfect sense to plan a party at a park where kiddos can run around and play, right?  Well, Mother Nature laughed at that idea.  It was actually cold today.  Yea, cold…in the lower 60’s.  Everyone was a bit shocked!  And, for me…having grown up in the South where a ‘cold snap’ in the summer means lower 90’s with only 50% humidity, this was just bizarre.  None the less, we still had a blast. 

My son encountered a lot of firsts today.  He had his first scooter ride and did quite well.  He had his face painted for the first time.  And, he got his first skinned knees in which he tried to milk for all it was worth! =)  We made this a family event and it was lots-o-fun!

Upon returning home, my husband decides to announce that he stopped taking one of his meds….again.  Argh!!!  Are you kidding me?….And, once again I had to remind him that he had promised never to do this under any circumstances again.  And, of course due to his memory he doesn’t recall any previous promises.  This is very frustrating but I let it go for the day and moved on after he agreed to call his doctor first thing Monday morning.

The rest of the day was filled with playing and just having a good time with the youngin’s.  I sit back and observe as my son begs for his Papa to play with him.  And, he will for a few minutes and then he’s done.  He claims that he is just to tired to do anymore.  And, literally, we are talking about 2-3 minutes.  I have a hard time understanding this concept because I play all day long not only with my son, but while carrying my baby girl in my arms.  How is it that a couple of minutes can exhaust a person to the point where they are just done?  Is this really legit or is he just lazy?  Who knows?…I think for now, I’m just going to leave that in God’s hands as we wait for him to see a sleep specialist to find out if there are any concerns to address.  That appointment is a couple of weeks away.

Aside from this little observation, it was an awesome day.  I truly enjoy all those precious moments filled with my kiddos laughter.  There is no better medicine!

Happy Weekend!
