Today we went to Rugrat Recess. What an awesome way to spend an hour. IN AIR CONDITIONING! Actually it was really fun. Mommy’s camera battery died shortly after we got there so there were only a few photos.

The set up! I really liked diving off the foam steps into Mommy’s arms! 🙂

I disassembled hopscotch and helped some other kids relocate the little jumping beams.

Spiderman was cool to knock over! 🙂

The Wiggles were loud and really scared me! But I danced on them anyway then ran away crying.

BALLS! BALLS!!!!! I picked up and threw each and every one of them! I LOVE to throw!

Yet another fun thing to do for only $1!!!

Mommy found some cool and inexpensive activities to do with me while Breighton is in VPK from 9-12. today we went to the Safety Harbor Rigsby Community Center for Playdough time. It is a come and go as you go class. It was only ONE dollar! I made some new friends and had a blast playing with the playdough.

My new gal-pal Abby!

Checking out some of the big kids.

The calm before the crazy. There ended up with 9 kids. Not too bad!

I really liked to cookie cutters and other things that made imprints in the playdough.

When I had enough I grabbed my chair and went walk-a-bout. I dragged the chair all over and finally found a place just for me.

And my new friend… ME! High-five buddy!

Nose kisses!

I really was entertained by that little boy in the mirror! 🙂

Well, Breighton started VPK today and I got to hang out with Mommy one on one all day. It was AWESOME!

We have so many things planned to do! 🙂

From Mommy:

Well, it has been 4 nights in the big boy bed. I use the term “in” VERY loosely! NIght one went super! Emmerson was exhausted from the day and went down in about 20 minutes. Then in the middle of the night he discovered he could climb out. Then the separation anxiety from Mommy kicked in. After many many many failed attempts at getting him back to bed I gave up and curled up with him. The next day we were on our way home for nap and he fell asleep in the car. We put him in bed and he slept for 20 minutes. DONE! Next day same process but worse night. Yesterday we went to Animal Kingdom for the day and he never napped. Last night was HORRID! Emmerson nursed to sleep but was up 4 times screaming and banging on his bedroom door. Finally I gave up and curled up with him on the mattress on the floor. He is miserable because he is so tired. He has little baby bags under his eyes. His mood, well it SUCKS! Today at naptime Emmerson threw a horrid fit. Screaming and rolling on the floor. banging on the door for over an hour. Obviously I kept checking on him for safety and making sure he was okay. Just ANGRY!

David put back on the old crib rail, THANKS DAVID! Emmerson was put into bed and was out within about 10 minutes of mild cries and whimpers. That is the normal sleep pattern. Apparently this is not the time for a big boy bed. Safety concerns are still a top thought. As long as we get him quickly after naps and night he should be okay. He has never put the foot on the top rails unless we dont get him right away.

UGH!
