Graysen's New Seat

Graysen received a Bumbo seat yesterday. He seems to like it. He sits in it and watches Caleb and me just like a big boy.

The Zoo

We made it to the zoo today! It was a perfect day. All of the kids had fun. Graysen stayed awake; however, he was more interested in the other children instead of the animals. Caleb brought his book of animals and matched up the zoo animals with the ones in his book. He was also back to his normal self. He fed the goats and he played on the playground, even going down a very tall slide by himself. Katelin had fun. She enjoyed seeing the animals and playing with Caleb.

Melt Down

We were supposed to go to the zoo today. Both boys were ready, and we were about to step out the door, when I noticed that it was very windy outside. I looked at the weather, and there was a high wind advisory for today. I postponed our zoo trip to tomorrow when the weather will be nicer. Of course, Caleb had a meltdown. He gets very disappointed when he thinks that we are going somewhere and plans change. I think that Graysen was upset also. He fussed when I took him out of his car seat after not going anywhere. I was able to console Caleb with a piece of cookie cake, and we will try the zoo again tomorrow.

Mother's Day

I have had a great Mother's Day today. The boys made a special card for me, and Lee has been really sweet all day. He is making dinner right now. We picked up fresh scallops from a fish market, so it will be a nice dinner. I am thankful to be a mom of two very special boys!

5K

Lee and I did a 5K this morning. It was a lot of fun. Lee had his best time ever and I was happy with my time considering that I was pushing a stroller with two boys. The boys and I were the first stroller (out of two) to cross the finish line. Ronald McDonald was at the event. I tried to get Caleb to take a picture with him. He did not want anything to do with Ronald. I can't really blame him. Ronald is a little scary. Overall it was a fun morning and great exercise.

Fun Friday

We had a fun Friday. We had our Friday lunch at the playarea at the Gaffney McDonald's. We thought that this would be fun for Caleb and Katelin. However, Mr. Caleb is still going through his stage where he is scared of everything. Katelin was more adventurous and rode the airplane. Hopefully Caleb will outgrow this stage soon. The upside is that he is cautious and does not do suicidal tricks like running into traffic or jumping off the couch.

Later that evening, the Taylors came over for dinner and dominos. We had a lot of fun with them. Caleb loves Aunt Kim (Aunt King). Uncle Allen had the lowest score and won the game.

Play Date

Today we went to Story Time with Alisha and Katelin. Caleb was afraid of Story Time. He is going through a phase right now where he is scared of everything, even things that he used to enjoy. I could not get him to go into Story Time without crying. We left after a few minutes because he was making a scene. Once Katelin arrived, he went back in tentatively and sat in my lap for the story. He eventually warmed up and enjoyed the rest of the event.

Afterwards, Alisha and Katelin came over to play. Caleb had a blast with Katelin. They were really cute together. Katelin and Caleb gave lots of hugs and chased each other around the apartment. Caleb was also very loving towards Alisha. He gave her lots of hugs and sat in her lap a while. It was a fun day.
