Museum Fun....

It has been so dang hot outside (yes, Alana just complained that is was too hot) that our zoo membership hasn't been getting much use. If we go, it has to be first thing in the morning because by 10 am it is getting pretty nasty. The plan was to go and pet some goats this morning, but Mac decided that sleeping in was more important to him and he didn't wake up until 11am (I'll come back to that later). I wasn't in a bathing suit mood so we went to the Children's Museum instead. This is the first time in a while that we have gone and it's a whole new adventure now. Mac used to just pass right by all the big kid stuff with no problem. Now he wants to join in on the fun. He really is a kid now...not a baby. We still went to the baby/toddler area, mostly because I can let him run free without him getting knocked over and getting in the big kid's way. He had a blast, but he was all over the place! The car/truck were a big hit as usual, but we really need to work on our people skills. I caught him trying to bite at least 3 kids as they would try to sit next to him in the car. Actually, to his credit, he does give "warning bites." He opens his mouth like he's going to bite but lets out this high pitched sound instead of going in for the kill. Regardless, he was removed from the vehicle. I made him go give hugs to the kids afterwards which he was not too thrilled about. I'm sure the the kids on the recieving end weren't too happy either, but I feel like he needs start learning to apologize in his own way.

They have a do-it-yourself face painting booth so I decided to make Mac into a cute kitty cat (manly, right?) on our way out to the car. He looked in the mirror when we were done and gave me that big cheesy smile. I asked him who he looked like and he barked...close enough.





Back to the sleeping issue. Mac has been doing really well with naps lately. No crying, no struggle; he just lays down and waits for you to hand him his blanket. Even at night he has been doing a great job. Last night he started rubbing his eyes around 8:15 so I took him upstairs and by 8:30 the child was actually asleep! I can't remember the last time that happened. I fully expected him to be up earlier than ususal, but he got up later than normal. I am starting to wonder if he sleeps too much. Maybe he's not getting good quality sleep? Just something else to add to the worry list I guess.

Here are a few cute videos of Mac that I just took too =)
