Jared woke me up this morning to tell me Jack had woken up and come down stairs and woke him up. O_o WTF???? How'd he get out of his room??????? He woke up one time last night and I went in and put him back in his bed and he was back to sleep shortly after that. I guess it's possible I didn't close his door all the way but I just don't know if that's the case. His door would have clicked loudly into place had it been slightly out of place when I was shutting it. It's happened many times and I've cursed myself for not shutting it more quietly and risking waking the boy. I can't imagine he can work a doorknob already though. I know he can get the screen door open but his bedroom door????? Holy crap. If that's the case.......that's a new development I'm not sure I like.

Putting him to bed last night SUCKED!!!! He was hating it! He didn't seem like he was hating being in his big boy bed so I'm not totally sure what his problem was but he laid in his bed and cried himself to sleep. I was sitting right next to him. I offered him my thumb a few times but he pushed it away. I sat there so long my leg went numb and my back was starting to hurt so I ended up laying down on the floor. That's when he sat up and tried to get out of his bed. Which confirms that if I were to have left the room....he surely would have got out of bed and been crying even harder. I laid him back down and he stayed laying down but kept crying. Half hour of crying. Good times. I think maybe he had a stomach ache since he hadn't pooped all day. Who knows. I even was trying to keep him up a bit later in hopes that he would poop....doing bicycles with his legs like when he was a baby. Eventually, I had to put him to bed. He definitely had a ton of poop this morning though :/ I hope he didn't spend too much time with it in his diaper.

We went to The Eagle's Nest yesterday with Barb and Brooke. If I had laser beams for eyes....I totally would have incinerated a little boy yesterday. There was a big kid area and a 3 and under area. We spent our time in the 3 and under area of course. There was lots of cool stuff and Jack was having fun. He was kind of playing with this little boy and sort of following him around. I would guess he was maybe 4. Then all of a sudden the kid ran across the room.....then ran back and shoved Jack on his way by. I was like ok.....I'll be keeping an eye on that kid from now on. Then a bit later I see the kid throwing books way up in the air. Mind you, there's babies crawling around this area too. Where's this kid's mom? Nowhere to be found. One of the books lands in this little area that you have to climb through a hole to get in. It was like a big square panel with a circle cut out and kids would climb through the circle hole. Jack's peering in to see where the book landed.....and the bottom of the circle is probably at his hips.....that kid comes up behind him and starts trying to push him through the hole!!! By the time I get over there....he's successfully pushed Jack through this hole and Jack is bawling. I grabbed the kid by the arm and said "HEY! You DO NOT push!! That is NOT ok!!!!" He looked a bit startled and ran off. Little prick. His mom was nowhere to be found and didn't see it. Nice. So it took me a bit to calm Jack down but then he was off having fun again.

He discovered this other sort of big tunnel that I kinda think shouldn't have been in the 3 and under area. If he were to have gone all the way in and then decided he hated it.....It woulda been a pretty lame time for me to crawl in after him. Fortunately he didn't get too far in before he decided he hated it. But at this point....6 big kids (we're talking like over 7 years old) push past me and pile into the tunnel barreling past Jack. This really helps the situation. Then they decided they don't like the tunnel either (hard to believe.....it's in the 3 and under section ya tools) and barrel back out. Finally I'm able to get him out. More calming down. He's pretty clingy at this point and losing interest in playing at this place anymore and occasionally asking to go "bu-byes".

Then he's sitting in this fire truck sort of box thing that you can sit in and read books. It's near the window and all along the windows are a carpeted shelf. The truck had 2 seats in it and Jack kept climbing up on the seat to sit on the edge of the truck with his feet on the seat. I was about to make him sit down on the seat and he fell :/ Wedged himself in half .....sandwich syle....in between the truck and the carpeted shelf thing ...... getting carpet burn on the back of his neck. Good grief. So then we decided to pack it up and go out to the snack area where there's tables and have some carrots and crackers. Poor kid. Not exactly the day we had planned.

I was a bit annoyed with how many big kids kept coming into the 3 and under area. Jack was in the ball pit for a bit and was kind of ok with it. I was about to take a pic and realized my battery was dead. I went over to my purse and swapped it with a charged battery and by the time I get back a couple of big kids had piled into the ball pit and Jack was not happy. He had no interest in going back in there after that. Even when it was just Brooke in there. I did get one pic of him in this Little Tikes tree house thing that was pretty cool:




That's the only picture I got! Hard to believe, I know.

I have Rosemary today and then Lizzie and Charlotte this afternoon. Looks like we're gonna be stuck inside today. I might let Jack and Rosemary watch Jack's Curious George movie.

I vacuumed the living room and swept and mopped last night after dinner so all I have to do today is laundry.....and maybe wipe down the bathroom. We'll see how I feel. I feel kind of sore. I did some cutting for my mom yesterday morning for about 2 hours. My knee has been kind of hurting ever since. It better snap out of it before the 7.5K tomorrow!

We watched Survivor last night. Holy blindsides!! We also watched Grey's Anatomy. Why is George living with Meredith's sister????
We also watched The Real Housewives of NYC reunion. I hate Ramona. Ugh. She acts like a child. And she's dilusional. And Alex and Simon.......good grief.....they're dilusional too. Yea right they were misrepresented! They're totally all about social climbing! Weirdos. Why was he even on there???? He's not a housewife!

Edit:  We do have some of those safety door knob cover child-proof things. I just wasn't thinking we'd need to pull them out yet :P
