The one with a birthday breakfast.

My inlaws took us to ihop yesterday for my birthday breakfast. 

They were slammed so it took a while for our food to come. Our waitress brought luca some fruit to hold him over. 

He only wanted the grapes in his bowl. He picked through it and dig them out with two fingers and his pinky out. It was super hilarious. I didn't get any good pictures of his fingers unfortunately so imagine. 

This bottom right^^ is the best, but it overlapped Aunt Ana's hand. 

We went over to station park to return some shoes of lucas and get some shirts. 

They have a fountain and playground in the middle of the mall area and luca loved them. 

He has finally started going down the slides alone a while ago, so he climbed right up and came down on his belly. 

 

He went over and over and over again. 

I finally went up and helped him sit to go down like that. 

He had quite the fan team cheering him on down at the bottom. 

He discovered this little patch of fake grass and danced on it to the music forever. 

The flowers are already so pretty around there, luca learned his lesson quickly to be "soft to the flowers." He sat on a bunch, with as much purpose as anything. Not cool kiddo. 

Our ward was having "pi" night so I made a frozen chocolate pie. It took lots of effort for some reason but I finally got it right. I even could hold my bowl of merengue over my head when it was fluffed enough. 

My sister in law took us to see Cinderella after lucas nap. He looooved the frozen short, and then sat through quite a bit of the movie. The last half hour he got restless so I took him out and we got some candy and went back in and sat in the front row--just in front of daddy. He went back and forth, ate candy, ran around, and made the biggest mess I've ever left in a movie theater. Sorry Megaplex employees. 

We got home with about a half hour until "pi" night. Blake and Analia came with us--who luca loves. Clearly. 

We split up and sent the men to the opposite table so we could all share but get done faster. We all ate sooooo much pie--and luca loved it. 

I'm sad I didn't have someone take our picture! Next time. 

After, we set up the chairs for sacrament meeting, and luca enjoyed that. 

And then bedtime. Or should I call it torture? It's one of those for him. But torture for both of us apparently.

I finally got him to sleep after an hour of trying to get him down in different ways. 

And then. 3am. He woke up screaming. And I went in to hold him and he just laid there wide awake for an hour. Jose took over after that and apparently he didn't ever go back to sleep. 

I took him in the morning down to and let him watch frozen. He stood there forever just watching, dancing, and talking to everyone that came on. 

He is finally napping and dad got to go to the last hour of church. I hope he naps for a goooood long time.
