a party, the park, and playing

Kason had a really fun time at Hayden's birthday party on Saturday. He got to play with his friends Hayden, Amelia, and Will. They all had a great time checking out all of Hayden's new toys. Ms. Barbara gave him a balloon and I think it might have been his most favorite thing ever. He had a major meltdown on the way home because I had to take it from him to get him in his carseat. I gave it back to him when we got home and he played with it forever. I finally had to take it away from him again so he could get a nap. Needless to say, he didn't go to bed happy. Call me mean, but the balloon disappeared during naptime!

On Sunday we went to Greenleaf Park. Karl met us there after baseball camp. Before he got there, Kason got to swing and slide. He liked watching all of the other kids. We got our picnic all set up and Kason started eating his lunch of turkey and cheese (his favorite). He looked up and saw his Daddy coming and he took off. After lunch we played in the spray park, but it was very cold so that didn't last long.

Tonight after Kason got his bath and was ready for bed we needed to install some plug covers behind his crib. (Now that we have lowered his crib, the plugs are where he can reach them.) I put him in the floor while Karl was working and I was getting his bottle ready. He knows his bedtime routine. When I walked back in the room, he was going through his books deciding which ones HE was going to read!

We are looking forward to a busy weekend. On Friday we are going to a 4th of July parade with our friends Molly and Kate. Saturday we are going swimming with some other friends and then having company for dinner. On Sunday, Lisa, Cliff, Emily, and Rachel get here! I wonder if Emily and Rachel will make the blog????
