Chronicles of Summertime: Day 28

Day 28:
We headed out first thing this morning to meet the cousins at Blits. It's like Chuck E. Cheese or Magic Mountain. Games, pizza, that sort of thing. Snugglepuppy had lots of fun playing the games. Basketball and bowling were his favorites. We enjoyed pizza and then used Snugglepuppy's tickets to buy him a football, a sticker, vampire teeth, and some candy. Afterwards, we hung out with the cousins some more and then ate out at Bob Evans. It began storming and we drove through some rain and got stopped by some downed wires and traffic lights that were out. We finally made it home.

Tonight, Snugglepuppy had some fun with daddy and we read some books before bed (including Where the Wild Thing Are), but his big accomplishment was using the potty! He finally pooped! We were all excited. I was beginning to think he was going to wear diapers forever. Let's hope this continues!

Bowling for Tots

We decided to take the little squirt bowling today. So, in preparation, I made him his own bowling set using circles drawn on paper, water bottles for pins and some tape to make the lane.

L really loved setting up the pins.

He didn't feel like rolling the ball down the lane though, he stood next to them and threw the ball at them. Thank goodness it wasn't a bowling ball!

Here he is pushing the reset buttons. He loved watching people bowl and watching the balls come out of the return.

L watching his ball roll slowly toward the pins.

We used bumpers for him and sat the ball on the floor and had him push it. Eventually he understood that he was supposed to push the ball toward the pins. He was good about not running down the lane. Though the ball rolled slowly, he thought it was great fun watching it hit the pins.
