Ever since Newton's escapade he has been very loving. It makes me wonder if he thinks he was thrown out of the house? For those of you who don't know, our cat wandered outside in the night time and we didn't realize it. He is black and it was dark. Luckily he already had dinner at that point because it was pretty late. We just thought he was in the basement for his after food slumber. Come morning we couldn't find him anywhere and realized he must have gotten out. Eventually he came back. Must have been starving. Luckily I heard him slamming and clawing at the front storm door. It was raining so he was all wet. He was a little roughed up too. Must have had a rough time back out in the wild. He was a stray for five years but has resigned to being an indoor cat. Well now he's a little weary when we let him go out back with us. He probably thinks we were punishing him for something. Poor kitty.
Today Lucian was napping and the cat wanted to play. I couldn't play with him because Lucian was sleeping in my lap. So Newton decided to crawl up into my lap also (common occurrence). After some readjusting we were all comfortable. At least for a little while. The cat was a little restless and decided to start causing trouble. I had to push him out of the space. He decided to retaliate by laying on Lucian's chair and watching cartoons. So there I was stuck in a chair without the remote watching the cat watch cartoons. Who knew?

It has been a busy week for a certain little guy. He has been on the constant move. Daddy took him to a giant ball pit/ climbing area at a local place. They also have arcades. We took him there previously, but it was so busy that it was hard to get around, so we only let him in the small area. He really really wanted to go into the large area. We figured it would be a better idea on a slower day during the week. Joe took him while I was at work. Apparently, they had the whole place to themselves and Lucian had a blast! They spent hours in that play area. I'm kind of jealous that I didn't get to go. Next time!
Yesterday, for Valentine's day, we took him bowling. We had a few free game passes. He bowled one game and scored a 73! Have to start them early. I don't think he really understood what was going on, but he liked that he got to push the bowling ball down the ramp they provided for us. He kept trying to pick up the bowling balls, but they were too heavy. Poor Lucian, he really wanted a big solid ball. Hopefully he enjoyed the experience.
Today, was his normal gymnastics class. The good news is he didn't try to get me to leave the building in the first half of the class like he usually does. The bad news.... well he found a lollipop downstairs and I walked into the living room to him slurping away on it. What a sugar rush he had! He was running around the gym like crazy. During the songs he was all over the place. I couldn't help but smile because it was so cute. Plus, I couldn't do anything else about it at that point. At least he was releasing a lot of energy. On the way home we stopped at the playground where we garden. I wanted to be absolutely sure that he ran off all that sugar he consumed. When we finally got home, he ate lunch while watching Phineas and Ferb and then took a nice nap. It was certainly needed, by both of us. I love my little busy bee valentine.

Two Year Molars
Did I give my son a freeze pop at 9:30 in the morning? Darn right I did! His teeth have been hurting him a lot lately. Would I prefer a better alternative? I sure would, but this is the best thing we have at the moment. I know Lucian isn't complaining about it. Some ways we've come up to make it smoother:
-cut off the amount we want him to have or "select a size"
-cut the top down as you go along, since he doesn't get push it up very well
-wrap in a cloth or, even better,wear mittens!
When all is said and done we have a sugared up toddler with a color-stained mouth. The next best thing to do is take him outside and let him run off his sugar coma. *Sigh* We need a better alternative. I was making him special popsicles, but now that he discovered freeze pops it will be hard to break him. Next time we move, we will be leaving the freeze pops behind!
