Friday was my day off and our first 'to do' was a make-up 2 year old shot...poor boy. He only needed one and he was a trooper especially when he realized it was one and done. We headed right to Aquatore park afterwards to host the "Performance in the Park" with some of our Mom's Club friends and although the entertainment was cute and funny Riley was a bit young to understand the "magic" involved. Instead he sat and snacked on chick-a-dees laughing when the big kids laughed and wanting very badly to get up on stage and play with the mind reading racoon Rocky. Of course half-way through the performance he had to go pee pee and I tried to get him to go in the shelter but it was dimly lit and huge toilets are a little intimidating for him so after some advice we are now going to be carrying around the potty chair seat that makes the normal size toilets toddler friendly. Poor kid has been EXCELLENT at potty training and there have been many afternoons/evenings where we haven't changed one diaper so I hated telling him to go in his unders.
I enjoyed another beautiful evening on Friday with book club at the Dam talking, walking and enjoying a candlelit snack.
Saturday was a LAZY day with pj's staying on until nearly 2:30. We LOVE our naps and lazy mornings! We were so excited to see Rachel, Sorin and Baby Leah until she actually arrived. Riley hid in the other room and was extrememly upset to see his Mommy holding another baby. So we tried to get him interested in her by showing him her 'owies' from shots that she also had on Friday and from there on out she was his buddy. He held her and wanted to carry her, when she rolled over he rolled over (continously for like 20 minutes), when she was in her seat ready for dinner Riley Man wanted to help carry it. We ate at Red Lobster to celebrate Rachels B-day and because when we get together we really like to eat good! Rachel brought all kinds of fun pregnancy books for
Leah was such a sweetheart and a peanut! She was all smiles and didn't make a peep once. She dances when you talk to her and by the end of the evening Riley loved her too! We can't wait to see more of her!
Sunday afternoon found us up with an alarm clock at 6:30 (YUCK!) and out the door for a s-ball tourtement in Ham Lake. We lost the 1st game and had a 75 minute break and then played 4 games in a row in 97 degree weather. It was by far the most hot we have ever been and I don't know how no one got sick! Our team did AWESOME and we pulled out a few amazing wins with some extra effort. My performance was (by explanation of my teammates) superb due to the fielding fetus I am growing. Apparently he/she gave me extra-ordinary powers and I played better than I ever have. Don't worry-I wouldn't have played (D wouldn't have let me) if it wasn't completely safe. I made sure to drink lots of water and I sat out when needed too. Everyone took very good care of me and besides some extra muscle fatigue and restless legs afterwards we all managed to avoid some serious heat stroke. My pregnancy powers didn't stop at the fielding though-I was able to smell things no one should have to, like the smell of grass on a very hot, humid day (smelled like it was burning, made me want to vomit!) and the overpoweringly strong smell of sweat-lots of it, head sweat, arm sweat, butt sweat, foot sweat, shirt sweat-way too much sweat-but not much one could do about it! We ended up taking 4th place out of 16 teams and we enjoyed a pig roast and roasted sweet corn afterwards-DELISH! How I love summertime, softball and swine! Riley man was so super happy to see us after such a long day-he didn't mind the sweat one bit! ; ) Til next years season-hopefully one more baby won't make me anymore slow or uncoordinated!
