A busy day

Whew! Tuesday was a busy day. First, Tyler's early intervention group had a "field trip" to a local bounce house. Basically, it is a ware house with about 15 or so inflated bounce houses and slides for kids to play in. Tyler woke up cranky, but he loves slides, so it balanced out. But I tell ya, they don't make those things easy to climb up! Typically the "ladder" was next to the slide and comprised a few rolls in a ladder formation. Socks were not ideal in that case. But Tyler did better than we thought he would at climbing up, proving once again that this kid will do anything for a trip down a slide.

Sidestory: a couple of weeks ago, Tyler got this desperate to get to a slide:

He did this about a dozen times that night. He made it across with no help about 10 of those times, but thank heavens daddy held his hands underneath him for those other two.It didn't even matter that the slide at the top stunk, and he just scooted his bum the whole way. Boys!

Back to Kangaroo Zoo.

Then we went out to lunch with Melissa and Cody. Max andCheese is a cute little place aimed at kids. So there is a huge playplace for kids while the parents sit and eat. After coating himself in the cheese from his mac and cheese, Tyler had a lot of fun with his friend.

And afterward, we even got to go see Wall-E! Another friend really wanted to take the kids to a matinee to celebrate getting her daughter potty trained. I have no idea why she wanted to take toddlers to a movie theater, but she has been trying to get someone to go with her ever since I met her. Wall - E : 98 minutes. Toddler attention span: 30 minutes, or until he saw the other toddler running around. Infant attention span: 3 minutes. Thank heavens there were only two other families there, and they all had older kids with them. This is why we have a home theater in our basement. Pause buttons, no babysitters needed, and the popcorn is even cheaper.
