It is almost three p.m. and I could actually go to bed right now! Not that there is any reason for it because I really didn't do much today, not even as much as I had planned on doing and I am fried. This morning was quite interesting with all Max's terrible 2 tantrums. He was fine until I actually picked him up out of the crib. The minute his feet touched the floor he was crying for some toast.
This kid I swear will eat nothing but toast forever! He has eaten a piece of toast every morning for breakfast for almost three months now and refuses to eat anything else (well first at least)
So we got toast and went out on the porch with my tea to wake up a little and he is climbing in my lap, crawling through the screen door in his pajamas (the smallest part at the bottom of the door popped out from someone kicking it). So I have a little barefoot spider man running through the backyard screaming about toast and barking.

All our neighbors must think that we are strange! Well at least me and my son anyway.

When Nonni and Pap decided that they were going out to lunch and going to the grocery store I thought it would be nice and quiet here for at least a little bit. No No I thought wrong. Max starts wailing that he wants to go so I packed Max and Nick up and we went to the park for a little bit. Max is definitely a people watcher and absolutely not a follower * for now at least*. When we arrived at the park there was a few kids there mostly Max's age and one a little older, because there were two kids in the baby swings I tried to get Max to climb the equipment with Uncle Nick and slide down the slide to Mommy... Well I ended up climbing with him and sliding with him down the slide ... only twice then Max saw a free swing and that was it. I spent almost an hour swinging him (which he enjoys).

During this hour he is intently watching all these kids ( there are many more at varied ages now) running around. He wouldn't say a word, and when he did it was barely audible ... sometimes when he is shy it is just so cute :) I just don't know why going to the park for an hour is so exhausting considering I didn't do anything but swing Max and slide the slide twice??
