Day 13

Today, I finally feel like I have a good routine going!  It is so nice when you lose that "I am not sure what to do with myself" feeling and things start going smoothly again.  Today was mostly fun again.  I didn't want Jack to have a nap because he went to bed late last night (9:00), so I woke him up at 6:40 and managed to keep him awake all day.  When he started to get a little bit mean and irritable around 2:00, I took him to the big park on base and we played and played and played!  First of all, we walked all around the Nature Trail and it was pretty warm outside, so he wanted me to carry him halfway through.  LOL!  I am sorry Jack but Mommy doesn't play that game anymore!  He got mad at me because I told him to walk, so he just lay down on the path for a few minutes.  What a funny little guy!  I did manage to get some REALLY cute Fall photos while he was laying there. :) 

We kept walking and came to the part of the track where these little fruit things had fallen on the ground and dozens of butterflies were on the ground, drinking the juice of the squished ones!  It was really cool!  Jack told me he wanted to "squish the pumpkings to feed the flutterflies", so I let him go over there and squish the little fruits (the "pumpkins").  It was cute and he was really careful not to scare the "flutterflies".  We played for a little while longer but I noticed that he looked like he didn't feel really good when I was swinging him, so I took him to the commissary and gave him a "Mommy's Coke" and he perked right up after he slurped some down.  I swear, he has some weird blood sugar issues!  He insisted on getting some more strawberries so that we can make chocolate covered strawberries and we went home.

Everything was great until he made the big giant poop on the floor in his room.  EWWW!!!  Apparently, cream cheese and yogurt made him a little bit too regular and he couldn't make it to the bathroom.  He was COVERED in it, so I gave him a quick bath and started to get the carpet cleaner ready, when I noticed that he was sitting in the sink in his bathroom, playing with my phone.  He was talking to himself in the mirror, haha!  It was really cute until he decided to turn the water on himself.  UGH!  So, then I had TWO messes to clean.  Thankfully, the poop all came out of the carpet.  I wasn't sure it would at first but I kept scrubbing until it did.  Gross.

He fell asleep listening to "Fiderflies" (Fireflies by Owl City) on my iPhone.  So sweet. <3
