Pentecost Picnic Pumpkin

John's day began with overwhelming cuteness. He needed to be woken up to get ready for church, and he was hilarious. He stretched his arms and legs and rolled his shoulders and hips and yawned and tried to pull his blankie back over him. When he was pulled up out of his bed and accepted the fact that he wasn't going to go back to bed he put his fingers in his ears and started smiling. We got him ready for church and had time for breakfast, but he wasn't interested in egg or bagel.

During worship John behaved very well, but preferred to sit on the floor instead of in the pew, he and his mommy sit in the front pew anyway so this was not a big distraction. He had a couple of occasions that he got fussy but overall was a good boy this morning. After worship he was his charming self for the ladies of the church. He and mom enjoyed the walk back to the house and got everything set up for him to go down for a nap, including his dose of metamucil.

When he woke up from his nap it looked like he had the remnants of a sea monster in his diaper, but he had good consistancy and was feeling good. Today was the church picnic for the congregation out in the country, and we all went out to visit and have some fun. John was a great helper, holding on to tea bag wrappers for his mom, and letting the young ladies hold him and visit with him so that they had something to do at the picnic. He did eat pretty well at the picnic and did have a lot of fun. When it was time to go he kept looking at daddy and looking at the young lady holding him, and looking back at daddy, as if to say, 'Can we take this one with us please?'

When we were getting ready to go John began to show his two attitude. Admittedly we were talking instead of going and he was already strapped in to his car seat, but he thought that was the appropriate time to fuss, holler, and pull out his hearing aids. We drove home with the fussy pumpkin and got him cleaned up and ready for bed. We gave him the second dose of metamucil as well and he was ready for bed. Late tonight he had some tummy trouble and started puking. After cleaning him up and getting his bed squared away he went back to sleep quickly. We gave his some bowel rest and then have started his formula again. Hopefully he will sleep through the night and will have no further trouble.
