Afternoon With A 2-year-old

We got to play with Booker for the afternoon a few days ago. Our original plan was to go to the kid-friendly pool by our apartment, but the stupid non-summer Utah weather messed that up.

First, we played at the park. (I should probably say Booker played, Daniel watched him, and I sat on a bench)

He wasn't quite sure what to do with the rope apparatus with gaping holes.
It took a while to get across and that little girl in the pink shorts was tired of waiting.

We walked around the Provo Farmer's Market and Bookman did some break dancing for us.

We then did what all responsible potential parents would--brought Booker to McDonald's.
He made lots of friends in the playplace. Hopefully he didn't get any diseases.
Oh, and Margaret, we also gave him ice cream. Really it was my fault. I went and got myself some ice cream so I couldn't deny Booker, right? Besides, he ate his entire happy meal.
I think he enjoyed it.

After an hour at McDonald's we headed back to our apartment.
Daniel and Booker made a fort that Booker kept destroying "by accident". They even had a password to get in. Daniel loves to make things exclusive.

After fort-building, wrestling, and various jumping onto couch cushion games it was time to relax, eat a snack, and watch some Sponge Bob. Booker worked up quite the appetite; he ate a granola bar, banana, and 2 cheese sticks. We knew he enjoyed the cheese sticks because he danced a little and randomly yelled out "cheese head!" as he ate.

I can't believe how much energy 2 1/2-year-olds have. I was exhausted at the end of the day and all I really did was watch Daniel play with him. How do you do it Marg?

August 18th is the due date! We don't have a name yet. We won't decide for sure until she is born. We are still kind of going back and forth on some names.

I've been catching up on a few of your blogs entries; first, yay on passing your test! I'm going to bring you some cream cheese braid. Second, your journal entry just about made me cry I was laughing so hard. I really need to dig out my old journals! That was so freaking funny.

I do i by having lots of quiet time for both Booker and I. Separate rooms for at least an hour. Thanks again for watching him ALL DAY! He had such a blast.
