Good Weekend

What a fun and busy weekend! Friday night, we took Will and met our friends up in Gaslight for dinner. They brought their daughter who is about 2 months younger than Will so we had a fun triple date. We were able to sit outside and the kids behaved until almost 8pm.

Saturday morning, we took Will to the botanical gardens to splash in the fountain. He also climbed the many stairs in the tree house. When we got home, we packed a picnic lunch and walked (after the brief downpour) up to Reed's Lake for a picnic lunch. Will actually sat on our blanket and ate his lunch like a good boy. Then we let him run around. He liked the ducks and watching people back their boats down the launch. Saturday evening, we had a baby sitter come over. Will flirted with her while we were getting ready to leave and we were told he was a very good boy and went right to sleep at bedtime. Phil and I went to Rockford to have a nice dinner at Red's.

Sunday morning, we took a nice walk and then played outside for a bit. Then we packed up another picnic lunch and drove to Manhattan park to play and have lunch. Right as we pulled up it started to pour. We sat in the car and watched it rain for about 10-15 minutes before it cleared up. We sat in the pavilion to eat and by the time we were done the sun came out. Will played around on the playground for a while before heading home.

Will is now on the 1 "super nap" schedule. It is really nice - it frees up the morning so we can go do fun activities. He sleeps for 2-2 1/2 hours in the afternoon which is also great. We can get some projects done around the house and have time to rest a little.

Will is getting in one of his top back teeth. It already broke the surface. I haven't been able to figure out exactly which one it is yet. Will has gotten really good at saying "mama" and is working on "dada." He also points to his belly button now.
