Weekend Update

Well, it was an eventful last few days.
Thursday, I said "goodbye" to my dear friend who was leaving our company. We had a great time at Uncle Julio's. With a good sangria and some queso (that's Spanish for cheese) things were cheerful but today is a different day. I'm realizing I can't instant message her and it sucks!!!
Friday, R, D and I went to Friday's to get some dinner. We need to do that more often on a Friday night, just the three of us. After that we went to Toys R Us since it was pay day for daddy and it has become tradition for daddy to buy D a car or two that he doesn't need. $50 and an embarrassing breakdown later, we were home.
The thing that caused the breakdown.... pulling D away from the pink Barbie car! He runs to this car every time.
A mom standing next to us with a boy slightly older than D told me her son just stopped doing that his last two trips. :)
Saturday, D had his therapy, after not having it for a month he did great. I have been in another room the last few sessions and he does great with "Dee Dee" by himself. He even said "Dee Dee" (nickname for Denise). Once in a while he'll run away and look for me. We're trying to make up for the sessions that he missed while homeless and squeeze many sessions in but when Dee Dee showed up on Sunday, D waved her goodbye and shook his head no. Eventually he did OK with her.
After therapy we went to a b-day party at Chuckie Cheese. It was a fun time!

D enjoying some pizza and fruit punch,
playing a game or two with mommy and daddy since he refused to ride any rides, we had to use up our tokens. We decided not cash in our tickets and collect them over time so we can get something decent (we'll need around 3000 tickets for that to happen, only about 2,950 to go).
After the party we were pooped and D took a nap. We cuddled after as it takes D about an hour to "wake up" from a nap. I appreciate every minute of it.
Sunday, D had speech therapy again and afterwards we went food shopping where we sampled good food and bought $20 worth of corned beef. Here it is cooking today. I cannot wait!!!
We enjoyed a walk to the park and around the neighborhood later, but it was a bit windy. We ended the day with playing some bowling on Wii and dancing in the basement/playroom.

Today is back to work and reality. With losing one hour of sleep it feels like a whole day was lost.
