Basketball, waffels, shopping and a meltdown

Our weekend started out great! John got home and came over to the playground. There was a stray basketball and Daddy and Noah had so much fun on the basketball court. It melted Mommy’s heart to see and them “playing basketball” together. We got Pizza Hut and it was really nummy. Noah thought so too. He was really tired after playing so hard outside!

Saturday morning Mommy made waffles with sautéed peaches, plumbs, and blueberries all topped with whipped cream. I love cooking good breakfasts. Daddy and Noah like it too. In fact breakfast seems to be their favorite meal. Like father like son huh?

We went to the outlet mall. That was exactly when the weekend started to go down hill a little. We didn’t really find what we needed. How hard is it to find some really cool shoes for a boy? Why are grl (my blocker won't let me use the word for a child of the female variety so until I can get my husband home to undo the password it will have to be grl) shoes so cute and boys get white tennis shoes? Yuck. We need to find some cool boy shoes. I just don’t know where to go. Noah got really tired at the end and we had to skip dinner and just go home. Oh well. We did get him some jeans, long sleeve t-shirts, and books. I never know what size jeans to get him. He is too skinny and too tall. I got him the 2T jeans because they all have an adjustable waist. I love that! For Anya I got some onsies from Carters on a great sale. A five pack for only 6 bucks! Deals like that are great aren't they?

Pink is so so so fun! Okay I admit it Anya's clothes are so much more fun than boy clothes. I really like dressing my little man but dressing her? It's going to be so fun!

I overdid it walking around the mall. I was sore to the point of being worried about everything. I was having a few contractions too. How am suppose to get ready for winter and this little one?

Noah woke up at 2:30 am on Saturday night something unusual for him and didn’t go back to sleep for almost 3 hours. Mommy was very very tired in the morning. We didn’t get to go to church. I couldn’t do it with the combo of being so sore, contractions, and being so tired and nauseous.

We did go to Target for a quick trip to get groceries later on that day. Noah had the worst public meltdown ever. We won’t let him run around the store by himself without holding our hand anymore. It used to be a game that Daddy would chase him and there would be lots of giggles. Not anymore. I can’t afford to loose sight of him for one second. We are telling him now that he has to stay in the cart, be held, or hold Mommy’s or Daddy’s hand. The meltdown lasted about ten minutes while we were in line waiting and checking out. It was horribly embarrassing. And funny enough no one got in line after us, I wonder why? Hahaha. But I’m proud of myself. I held my ground, didn’t give in. He has to learn that he can’t run off anymore. Yes, we made a mistake letting him run around in the first place but now we are correcting that. It would have been a battle no matter what. He is so strong willed. That’s my boy . . . I wonder what Anya will be like and if we will have the same battles with her?
