The one with Separation Anxiety.

Sara and Grant came up to play today! Yay!! We went to story time at the library--I've been wanting to take luca for a while but it's always more fun with a buddy. 

They lasted about 10 minutes or so listening and then got restless so we colored some ghosts, drank from the drinking fountain and played on the giant chair. 

Luca has been choosing to walk lately over crawling which has been fun for me. 

He falls after a few steps when he is barefoot because he curls his toes up and trips. When he has shoes on he can go so much farther! 

Then we went to satisfy Sara's Russian cravings. The man working was adorable and so sweet. He explained everything we asked. 

Then after disappointing Grant by not playing on the moon at the planetarium we went to the dinosaur playground. It was crazy packed. School was out apparently. And everyone decided to come here! 

I was watching Luca and at one point he tried to get up on this small slide but couldn't, and I got up to help him, and instead stopped to watch these three adorable sisters help him up and catch him at the bottom! 

They were too sweet to him. I'm so glad there are still some good kids out there that behave so kindly! I watch so many bullies around it's disheartening. I love seeing little acts of kindness! 

Grant is in this picture. Good luck. 

And Luca. But he is more noticeable.

Luca and Grant followed each other around and I made Luca chase Grant around. They just laughed and laughed and hugged. They are precious. 

I don't believe this needs an explanation. 

When Sara and Grant left Luca wanted to be outside so we went out and walked a little and waved goodbye.

When he was all done walking and ony wanted to crawl and ruin his pants we went back inside.  

However. I needed him to be so exhausted for bed. So we headed to the park. 

Luca played all over and loved it. He spun and slid and ran around. Slash tried to run but fell on his face. All in good time  baby. All in good time. 

Then. This little boy was playing. And he reminded me so much of Thomas and I couldn't help but picture Thomas being that big! It's going too fast! 

 

Then we headed home for dinner. Which in Luca's world meant black beans and nothing else. Whatever floats your boat kid. 

Last night and two nights ago Luca refused to sleep alone. Dang separation anxiety. I CAN'T HANDLE IT. I do NOT know how parents can co-sleep but holy cow they are impressive people to do it. Except kourtney kardashian is just crazy probably. 

I got zero sleep last night--the first night I was in such a mood that Jose took Luca too the other room. He can sleep through most of the moving and noises so it's not that big of a deal for him. When he sleeps with us he has to be touching me in some way. Or laying directly on top of me. It makes it super easy to sleep. 

Last night he was between us and horizontal. With his feet on me and his head by Jose. 

Anyway. That was not about to be the deal tonight. So I tired the kid out like nobodies business today. He only napped for like ten minutes in the car today and we were active for more than half of the day. So that will have to be what happens more often! Which isn't a bad thing. 

I'm trying to brainstorm what to do when the winter comes already. I can't repeat last night! I love my child but my land. I love sleep too. Hahahaa.
