Daddy Days

It seemed like forever since Austin was off even though it was just last weekend. But with VBS and Colby's party we really didn't have time for much relaxation! So it was a welcome change to have Austin off yesterday and today!

Yesterday we had some errands to run but we also wanted to take Colby to a park. We had planned on going to one by the lake but it was closed for some reason so we went to Laffrinere instead. It was fine just hot! Colby had a blast though! I wish we could have stayed longer but it was just so hot so 30 minutes was all we could stand! He played a lot though!

After the park we went to Olive Garden for a nice family lunch outting. Its rare we all 3 go out to eat for lunch like that so it was a treat! I got eggplant parmesan! It was yummy! Colby loved the spaghetti...he also ate breadsticks and salad! Colby was pretty good in the restaurant except when he is done eating he is ready to go! He is also getting very attached to Austin I am noticing. Lately he doesn't want to leave his daddy behind! I guess they had so much bonding time last week he wants to always be around him!

The rest of the day we were able to just relax and stay home which was so nice!

Today I had a dentist appointment first thing so I slipped away for that while Austin kept Colby at home. We had planned on taking him to the aquarium when I got back. We were able to get there soon after they opened and good thing because it got crowded quick! We are fortunate to have a membership so we don't feel as if we lose out if we just go and stay an hour. With Colby's age thats about as much time as you can spend especially on a day like today with the crowds. He did really well though...we let him walk some which he loved! He didn't like being put back in the stroller! He loved running around the kiddie play area! That was probably his favorite! I just wish it had an age limit...its designed for smaller kids but they get overrun with like 10 year olds which isn't fair! He had a good time anyway though!

Once we came home we ate lunch and just all crashed! So glad he's taking a good nap though...he decided 2-3 am would be a good time to play in his room last night! He's a mess with this whole toddler bed thing! I mean I can't complain atleast he doesn't cry and stuff but he's just so random now...we also took the pacifier away so not sure if that contributes to the less sleep too! But once again least he isn't crying for it!
