Well, great...we came downstairs after E's nap (and my blogging) on Friday to find Blitz yakked on the floor (and rug and chair). Grrrrreat...I think we're going to buy him the "sensitive stomach" formula food and mix it in with the other stuff till it's gone. If that doesn't work then I think we have to opt for the pricey blood testing. We'll just see. Easton is still puke-free though. Yay!
Blogger wouldn't let me on last night so y'all missed out on a days worth of what was sure to be hilarity. Not really. But I would've told you how both Easton and Jason slept in till 8 yesterday and then how we made a family trip to "The Mart" to look at the toy section. Easton started making his Christmas and birthday lists and I'm pretty sure I saw Santa taking notes. He is so fun in the toy department--no tantrum when we don't buy him anything...YET! I have pals that have to totally steer clear of that area of the store but E is really good about it so far.
After Wal-Marting I put Easton down for a nap and then headed off to lunch with an old college pal. It was nice catching up but sad that I don't see my childless pals as much as I used to or as much as I would if they had kids. When I walked up to the restaurant she said, "You're showing" and I thought, "Well, duh...I'm 21 weeks, you big goon" but then again, not one single friend of mine saw me during the whole 7 months of my last pregnancy so it must be weird to see me with a belly? Although, I must point out for my own sake that I'm not wearing maternity clothes yet. My belly is so high and styles are so low-waisted these days that I can still button my jeans just fine. I have worn a maternity shirt here or there but it's not like I "need" to. And I haven't broken out the maternity pants yet. I'm not even at the "rubber band trick" stage where you loop a hair tie through your button hole to keep your pants up. I think maternity clothes make me look even more pregnant than I am so for now I'm steering clear. Even so, I'm "showing" but we all already knew that, didn't we?
After my long lunch with my pal I came home for a bit before heading back out sans E (who only napped for 45 minutes) to take my mom and sister to the airport. Jason was on E duty for the evening. We thought he'd even end up flying solo for the bedtime routine but I made it home just in time to do it with them. Although, Jason was on his own for dinner with E and apparently Easton did great. Yay!
Easton slept in again till 8 this morning and then we headed out to IHOP for breakfast. It is not Jason's most favoritest place but he goes there for me. Insert "awwwww" here. Today's experience wasn't great but I did enjoy my food at least and Easton was a genius. He was coloring and held up a blue crayon and said, "Bwoo" and then held up the red crayon and said his version of red ("Bleh"). We were so impressed because it was unprompted and we hadn't been quizzing him before hand or anything. Then, thinking he was on a color-identifying roll we asked, "What color is this?" pointing to J's orange shirt and he said, "Bwoo." So we stopped. But still...
What else? Oh, after IHOP Easton and I went to another playgroup pal's 2nd birthday party. I thought Easton had lots of toys but not compared to this kid. Whoa! Easton enjoyed playing with his toy kitchen:
And with a punch balloon, you should've seen him go for awhile there:
Oh yeah, a couple of times this weekend Easton has sat on his potty for a bit. He spent about half an hour out of his diaper each time and would sit on the potty or stand in it or on it. Either way, he was close to the potty (his choice) but he never actually went potty. That's fine as we're still not trying to potty train but one day I saw him, um, straining and asked if he wanted to sit on the potty and he did. So we have. The second time he asked to sit on it. Again, we let him. He's not allowed on the rug or couches without a diaper, though. For now he either sits on the potty in the bathroom or we bring it down and he watches a program on TV while sitting:
Our goal is just for him to be familiar and comfortable with the potty by the time we actually start training (not till after Baby Deuce comes). He sees it mostly as a jungle gym/step stool but hey, at least he's not afraid of it and will even sit on it diaperless. Anyhoo...
I guess that's it from the weekend. While E naps J and I plan to start some Broncos and burgers. Mmmm. Oh, and real quick:
I stole this off someone else's blog. What fun! It says "Kristin" is the 397th most popular first name (it doesn't even specify for females and my mom did have a male student named Kristin). Our last name is 6050th most popular (tied with 50 others). Try it out if you want.
Tune in next time for another exciting "episode" of the Family Blog...
