Smell it Mommy

Having a 3-year-old boy is definitely fun in its own special way. For instance, I was in my room nursing Luke when a naked and proud Jack struts in. J : "Mommy I peed." Me: "Good job"
J:" Off the patio." Nice-- we live upstairs in our apartment complex so I hope no one got wet.

Other things that are fun when you have a boy-toots. We were in the car and Jack let some manly toots fly. I responded, "Oh those smell." Jack laughs and says, " Smell it Mommy smell it!"

We have been having a good time around here. Saturday we went to Springfest. Jack got to pet a rabbit and a chick then was able to look at cows, sheep, and pigs. He saw tractors and was able to play with remote control cars. He did not want to pet insects or have his face painted. We ate hot dogs and hamburgers and got a balloon. Last year they had the Purdue train running in the morning so we really hoped we could ride it this year, but it was not meant to be. We did run into the Pappy's ice cream cart and shared an oreo sundae that was very good.



Sunday took us to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate Jack's bathroom victories. Jack's favorite ride was the Barney train. He used about 15 tokens on that plus the extra tokens we amassed when we put one in and got one back. Our goal was to get a large amount of tickets, and it was looking bad for us until Jack stuck in a token and won more tickets by accident than Pete and I had trying. Then our luck improved when I played The Price is Right and ended up winning over 90 tickets in one turn. We ended up with 320 tickets! Jack got two cars and a bunch of candy.



Monday we had plans to pick Pete up at 1:30 to look at a condo. The boys and I slept until 1pm so lunch was the McDonalds drive-thru. Jack got a Happy Meal with a dragon from How to Train Your Dragon. After viewing the condo Pete had the idea of taking Jack to see How to Train Your Dragon. I wasn't so sure because 1. Jack has never been to a movie theater 2. He is a typical 3- year-old boy so the two don't seem a good match 3. We have Luke and do they even let babies in the movies? However, Jack was already pretty pumped about his dragon toy and Luke is still young enough to be good through the movie-- why not. Off we went to the movies. Jack brought his dragon inside, we got popcorn, and sat down. Jack didn't understand the seating arrangements at first. When I told him to walk down the aisle to get a seat he simply sat on the steps and thought that is where you sit. Once we led him to the seats he didn't quite understand how they worked. He eventually ended up on Pete's lap because he did not like those chairs. He practically ate the whole bag of popcorn by himself. He never let go of his toy dragon and he sat on the edge of his seat the whole time. He was completely engrossed in this movie. There was even one part where he threw his arms up in the air and cheered!!! He loved the movie. Pete and I are in agreement that we loved this movie too. It was so so super cute. It was better than Up. What a great experience for Jack's first movie.

As far as finding a place to live we have not been very successful. The place we thought we were going to get told us they accept dogs, but apparently when places tell you they accept dogs they mean tiny dogs. We have had a couple different places say yes we take dogs then when we say that we have a golden retriever they say oh we don't take big dogs. The search continues.
