John had a great time at church and behaved quite well right up until the benediction and then he was done with all dad's turning around and looking at him, but not taking him. John cried and pointed at daddy until he came and sat next too us and put John in his lap for the last hymn. Then all was peaceful. He had a really good time after the service enjoying a bit of cake with the ladies and then was ready to come home and get a short nap in before daddy got home.
After the nappins was over he was ready to play and had eat, eat, eat. Despite his full belly and trying to resolve some intestinal issues he did well, but tired out pretty early and went to bed early. But of course that wasn't the end of the day as he was ready to play again later and then sat up with us watching Narnia until 11p. Our little gigglebox had the tired sillies and was clapping for something, we don't know what, and then he would giggle some more. Whatever the joke was it must have been good because this went on for a while. Finally back to bed for a good night sleep before school this morning.
Before school this morning John was ready to be up and playing and so we put him in his gait trainer while we were getting things ready to go.
He pushed himself from the kitchen linoleum about half-way into the living room (on carpet) and then was all over the kitchen some more. That's the first time we've seen him be able to push himself up onto the carpet. After some fun in the gait trainer he was ready for breakfast and then off to school.
Usually John will nap about half of the way to school, an hour drive, but not this morning. He was nearly asleep about 20 minutes into the ride and then started clapping and giggling and little, evidently last nights joke was really good, and then started to stick his fingers in his mouth get them all nicely spit coated and stick them together, pull them apart, you know silly 2yo stuff. He was a little wild man in school, doing what he was supposed to do here and there but cracking himself up and Miss Amy too! At one point Mark and I both had to hide our faces because John was not doing what he was supposed to be doing, but was so funny that it was impossible not to laugh at him being bad. He was a stitch.
After we got home he did lay down for a bit, but then was up and ready to play. Today is the first time that I've just set him on the floor in his room with his toys and let him play alone for a few minutes while I got a few things done.
He truly enjoyed himself as you can see. He played there for a while, then was ready for some dinner. Hmmmm....mostly he wanted the meat and the steak knife, ah yes that Y chromosome is taking control! Needless to say we didn't let him have the steak knife but instead he had a delightful time stabbing a potato log with my fork. Always the entertainer. When Mark left for confirmation John and I went out for a walk. He was fascinated enough with the people next door that he was 'walking' sidways down the driveway and even after we got into the street he kept wanting to turn and watch them. He made it part of the way down the block and then was just ready to come back, Monday's really wear him out but we see each week that he is able to do a little more, stay up a little longer, etc. For now he's resting but I'm sure he'll be back up again later when dad gets back home.
