Just a Wednesday

Yesterday after quiet time, Easton entertained Dalton with our train bubbles from Tiny Town:










And then we went to the library again. Some of the books and movies we'd requested were available so we went to get 'em. That's always fun. I love the library.

Sometime in the evening, after Jason was home, Dalton took a spill off the couch. More like he wanted to do tricks like Bubba and launched himself over the arm of the couch, knocking his head on the coffee table on his way down. Lovely. He got so upset and threw up all over himself and Jason. Needless to say, we were paying attention to D, cleaning him up and calming him down. All of a sudden, Easton appeared in the kitchen with a Batman band-aid all ready to go for his brother. He wanted to help. We put the band-aid on Dalton's belly as tears welled up in my eyes. He's such a great big brother. For so very many reasons. Love those boys!

Anyway, today we didn't have any plans. So, this morning while snuggling with Easton in the big bed, I asked him what he wanted to do. He didn't come up with much. But then after breakfast he headed upstairs and I called up, "What're you doing, Buddy?" and he shouted back down, "I have to get some clothes because we're going to the museum!" So I went with it.

We went to the museum:


Easton's expression as he races to the "emergency" makes me giggle:


The boys spent a very long time playing together in this little "cottage" they have:






Look who else climbed up all by himself!


Easton was asking to go to McDonald's and I decided I could go for some fries so we made our way towards the exit...stopping first on this:


However there is a playground adjacent to the Children's Museum parking lot, and the boys were wanting to play for a few minutes. Easton was eyeing some monkey bars. He doesn't know how to make himself swing over to the next rung, so I'd have to give him a push to get him swinging. We had fun with it. Meanwhile, Dalton climbed up on this car:


Bubba wanted to join him, Dalton was not a fan of that idea:


Then we spied a tire swing. They were both up for that:




Here is video of both the monkey bars and the tire swing...please excuse my very obnoxious sound effects.

When Dalton was done he was trying to let himself down, but he didn't do so great and fell to the gravel, getting a mouthful. I tried to help him get it out but it's hard, he was gagging a few times. :( Once I was satisfied that there were no more large bits to choke on, we headed for the car where I had some milk to help him wash the grit down. Yum. Can't wait for that diaper!

So, finally we were on our way to McDonald's. I decided to get the boys a chicken nugget Happy Meal. I knew Dalton liked McD's fries and Easton had agreed to try the nuggets "but I think I should dip them in some honey". Easton is largely a vegetarian. He's eaten a handful of nuggets in his 3 and a half years, but he survives (not thrives, survives) on a mostly vegetarian diet. Did you know that nothing at McDonald's is vegetarian? Not their fries and not even their salads. But that's beside the point. Because Easton ate a whopping 2 nuggets!


And Dalton ate one too! Plus D likes their fries as I said. (E is not a fry guy.)


Then the boys got to play for a bit. Easton brought his new Happy Meal toy in with him. Somehow Dalton is the one with it later:

Right after I took that picture, Dalton's foot stuck under him causing him to fall head first. I caught him, though. Whew!

After that we came home for nap and Q.T.

The end.
