Last Wednesday B and I had errands to run near the house. Consequently, we had to miss Gymboree. In an effort to give B a substitute daily adventure, I took him to the "mommy matinee" at the local theater. We met up with several folks from our play group, and we all kept our fingers crossed. Of course, my hopes were not high that he would enjoy it. My instincts were correct. After B ate as much popcorn as he could (this definitely bought be about thirty minutes of movie viewing,) he decided that the theater would be a perfect place to take laps. So, we climbed up and down the stairwells until my knees could take it no longer. All in all, we lasted about half of the movie.
Thursday we retreated to an in-home playdate. Ahh, normalcy!
Friday we went to It'z, an indoor play facility that required me to purchase the buffet. Gross. Despite the horrible and overpriced food, despite the filth that is a place like that, B had a blast. Most of the entertainment is Dave & Busters type of games; however, there was a special section that was just for toddlers. B spent about half an hour riding a mechanical airplane...of course he could only do that because he jammed the "start" button so severely that the ride NEVER STOPPED! When I finally had enough of watching him move up and down, I tossed him into a bounce house. It was a very toddler-friendly size, so B was able to climb up the ladder and go down the slide on his own. He thought he was hot stuff! He yelled "Mom" as he climbed; he wanted to make sure I was watching. I was so upset that I forgot my camera.
I was busy all day Saturday, so B spent the day with Dada. It's funny (but not-so-much for Ryan) that B's naps are significantly shorter when Ryan is on baby duty.
This week is a horribly long and stressful week for all us here at the Levy Casa, so forgive us ahead of time for the sparse blogging that is on the immediate horizon.
