Little Buddy was starting to get tired and a bit fussy at the second party, so Daddy and I decided it was time to go. However, Little Buddy had been too distracted to eat much. Because we were close to Ms. K's house, we decided to stop for an unscheduled visit so that we could try to get some food in his tummy. It was great to see Ms. K and Little Buddy was especially excited about her cats!

Chasing after those poor cats (again)! He didn't understand that you don't yell for cats and expect them to come to you like a dog would.
After all the excitement, we were sure Little Buddy would take a good nap. Once again he proved us wrong, waking up as soon as we got home. Instead of crying and throwing our own temper tantrums like we wanted to (naps are important to parents too!), we scooped up our alert little boy and headed out for grocery shopping. We got some errands done, came home and got some dinner, and still he was ready to keep going...
"Giddy-up, horsie! We have to escape bedtime!"
Thankfully, his energy died down enough for me to rock him to sleep. Normally Daddy rocks him, but tonight I got to so that Daddy could take care of a few things. I loved it. As Little Buddy caressed my cheek, gazed at me, and said "A wuv ew", my heart melted. He was so adorable, I almost forgave him for his lack of nap.
Almost.
Good night,

Aw, was that the first time he said that? Adorable.
ReplyDeleteNo, he says often, but each time he does is just a magical moment.
