Christopher's first Reds game

Christopher has seen the Reds at Spring Training but we have not taken him to a game a Great American Ballpark. When I came home from work he was already asking "ballplayers?", "ballgame?". He had a fun time - he ate 2 hot dogs and a bag of popcorn and drank a soda. I wanted to get him some peanuts but I was afraid he would puke. Those 3 things (hot dogs, popcorn and peanuts) are his favorite foods.


After the 4th inning we walked around and he saw the river with the boats --- another exciting site. We had to walk around because there was an annoying White Soxs fan behind us and Tony couldn't take it much longer. The Reds did win, would have been nice to be sitting by the annoying White Soxs fan when they lost.

They were having fireworks after the game - but we didn't stick around to watch.
On the way home I asked about his favorite part of the ballgame and he said it was the boats.

He also went to a public potty for the first time -- all exciting news.

Big boy bed

I converted Christopher's crib into a toddler bed two days ago. He is getting so big. He probably weighs 40 lbs. It was becoming difficult to pick him up to put him in bed. He has been eating like a machine lately - so I expect him to have another growth spurt.

He has slept in the bed without issue, he does have a safety rail. The first night I heard him crying and all I could think was he is stuck between the safety rail and the bed... I rushed in his room.... he just wanted chocolate milk. I worry about him all the time.

He woke up early today, I could hear him on the monitor "Momma, hold you! Momma, hold you!" So at 4 this morning, I went and held him and we rocked. He said he was scared. He has been telling me lately that he is scared of stuff. I don't know if he was really understands this concept, or if he knows that "scared concept" gets attention.

I held him, even after he fell asleep. He looked so sweet and precious sleeping. I held him until he began turning and rolling because he is outgrowing my lap. Other nights, He has asked me to put him in bed after a few minutes of holding because it is too hard for him to become comfortable on my lap any longer. It is bittersweet to watch him grow so quickly. He is such an angel.
