Big Day

Yesterday was such a big day full of lots of adventures. First Owen decided that he should wake up at 6:45. He has done this twice recently, but he usually goes back to sleep...not yesterday though. Later on in the morning I needed to go to Fred Meyer. Jack was having a total meltdown on the way there so I decided to nurse him in the parking lot to see if that would calm him down. He did get calm while he was nursing, but once we went in the store he started up again. I quickly finished the banking I needed to do at the BECU inside and headed out. Poor Jack kept crying the entire way home. Once we got home Owen decided it was his turn for a mild meltdown. I made lunch and put him down for an early nap. The last couple of days he thinks he should only be sleeping an hour at nap time so I was hoping he would sleep longer. He did wake up after 45 minutes, but feel back asleep. Once he woke up we went outside to play and to our surprise Daddy was home early. So much fun!!! While Daddy took a shower we went over to the neighbors house to return some items we had borrowed. They love playing with and holding the kids so it's nice to spend time with them. When we got home I was nursing Jack and Michael was making dinner when Owen decided it would be fun to take two baby food jars and smash them together. One of them broke sending glass all over. Owen kept rubbing his eye so Michael had to get the eyewash to make sure there wasn't anything in his eye. Owen didn't mind it the first time he used it because he didn't know what it was, but the second time he was NOT happy about it.


After dinner we gathered up the cats and their things and hopped in the car. I relisted them on Craigslist yesterday morning and immediately got a response. They are now living in nicer house that we have and there are no kids and no pets to compete with attention wise. I'm so happy that Precious and Punkin have each other and didn't get separated. It's weird though Michael and I have had cats since July 1999 so it felt odd to come home to a house with no cats.

Since we were over on the east hill in Kent we decided to stop by and hang out with Aunt Becky for a little bit. Camryn and Samantha were there too. Samantha is getting so big! Camryn enjoyed playing with and snuggling Owen. Oh yeah Jack had another meltdown the entire ride over to drop the cats off and see Aunt Becky I think he must have cried for 40 minutes. That poor kid just hates the car! He did cry some on the way home from Aunt Becky's, but not the entire way.

Once we got home Michael needed to use the bathroom and Owen came running in too. We brought out his potty chair on Monday since he seems very interested in the potty when we use it. He has sat on it a couple of times, but never gone potty. Michael got him undress and sat him on it. He didn't stay there for very long though. He thought he should run around the house naked instead. He went and found a book and I told him to take it to Daddy at least if he peed on the floor in the bathroom I can just wash the rugs and I won't have to steam clean them. Anyways Daddy had him sit on the potty while he read 10 Little Ladybugs to him and sure enough he went potty on the potty chair. We were so proud of him!!!

Even though Jack had a rough day he was happy right before bed and he slept really good and kept to his routine of waking up around 2 and then going back to bed until 6. He's such a precious boy!
