Our Saturday

Austin was off today so its been a great day! It had moments of stress due to our wonderful 2 year old but still I would label it a wonderful day just because we were all together! We started the day with breakfast at Parrot Pete's. We don't usually ever go out for breakfast but now that Colby is older I hope its a tradition we can start at least once in awhile. The weather was so nice we sat outside. This was convenient in that we could also let Colby walk/run around without disturbing the peace inside. Colby did really well and seemed to enjoy his breakfast. We only had one little incident of him spilling orange juice all over me and my bag.
Next we went to Target. We were right by it and we haven't all been in awhile plus I needed some things for Sunday School tomorrow. Colby was very good in the store. He ended up with a new toy truck though. Mainly because he has this favorite yellow truck and its about to fall completely apart so we thought we should try to replace it. We found a much cooler yellow truck that honks, has lights, and plays music! He loves it and has almost forgotten the old one so we may try to trash it soon!
When we got home we let Colby play outside in hopes he would run off some energy so he would nap. Days where we don't get him out to do anything physical usually end in no nap days for him. He obviously didn't play long enough because the child didn't nap at all. He was a little grumpy all morning and we thought he might be coming down with something but now we aren't sure if its just terrible 2s, teeth, or a cold. Might be all who knows! But he did not nap! And he needs a nap!
After his no naptime we went outside again and enjoyed the beautiful weather. This time he was a little more into it so we stayed out quite awhile. Tonight my dad came over for dinner because my mom is out of town. We had mexican fiesta (tacos, spanish rice, beans, all the fixings). Normally this is a meal Colby loves! Tonight he wouldn't hardly touch it...not sure if its because he wasn't feeling well or what. He ate all of a tortilla shell though and some chips. Next time I will no better to not give him the tortilla until he has had some of the other stuff. Normally he doesn't like bread so this surprised me. He pitched quite a fit too at dinner because he wanted to sit at the table and I let him at first but he was more concerned with his toys then eating so I moved him to the highchair and he got very upset. He cried for about 15 minutes. It was quite a fit! Had my dad not been here he probably would have been spanked and sent to his room but its hard to punish them so harshly with grandparents around so he got off easy tonight.
After dinner we took him for a walk. Its so nice outside we enjoyed it. Now we are just hoping he sleeps well tonight! He did last night but not the night before and he has missed his nap about 3 times this week. Tomorrow is church so its a busy, long day for all of us so I just hope he sleeps tonight and is in a good mood tomorrow!
