So, I know that I say this a lot, but my son amazes me...he really does! Tonight, I realized just how much he is growing up, and JUST how much Jamie is missing. It's a happy-sad, as I like to call it. I am so happy to see him evolving into a toddler, yet sad that Jamie isn't here to experience it with me.
Rowan and I have been playing in the family room tonight, and he just is so interested in play-time with Mommy all the sudden! It is so neat, and I am sucking up all the time I can get! He looked like a rag-child today, wearing a size 3T t-shirt and mis-matched shorts...(my aunt dressed him; I am NOT to blame for this!) Anyway, he was filthy, so I took his clothes off of him and let him run around nakey for a bit. I was putting the shirt over his face, and he LOVED IT! A new game I must take not of for later use! He put his hands up over his face, laughed, threw his head back, and ran around like a silly man until he pulled the shirt off...or fell, whichever came first! LOL
Then, I thought we needed to try something new...I held one end of the shirt, he held the other, and we ran around the family room. It was a TON of fun, and exhausting too! He just wanted to keep going, but hey...I'm getting up there in years, I can't keep up with a toddler's energy...won't even lie! LOL
Okay, so other than that, we had a fabulous day. Rowan got to play outside pretty much ALL day, which he LOVES!!! :-) I decided to take Rowan for a short walk to the circle, but ended up going the long haul...which is several miles...okay, let me explain. Rowan has a plastic car that he LOVES; it has a handle, and I push him in it. Normally, the car is reserved for short trips, as it gets loud and bumpy on the gravel road around the neighborhood. Well, I was wearing my dress clothes for the day, and some flip flops I threw on on the way out the door. Rowan had no shoes on, looked like a rag-child, his sunblock was worn off, and I smelled a poopy...short walk, no big deal, 5 minutes tops! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO I decided to just keep going, and going, and going. By the time we got home, my feet were covered in dirt and dust, my hands were numb from the vibration of the gravel, and Rowan had poopy up his back! It was a mess, but it was fun nonetheless!
Now Rowan is playing on the floor...and I am so ready for bed! I still have the movies I rented the other night, and it looks like we are waiting until tomorrow! That's it folks, I am going to enjoy the night with Rowan!
NOTE: Yes, I do realize that these pictures are AWFUL! I look like poo; I have no make-up on AT ALL! My hubby is used to seeing me look like this, so go easy on me...k? After all, I AM posting these for HIM! Thanks for your kindness! LOL :-) Oh, and the one of me with a sad face, yeah...Rowan had just beaten me up and pulled my hair!
