it's been one wacky week

This has been just a crazy week, and I am so thankful it is Friday!  Tobey was sick last weekend while my family was in town so he didn't get much sleep resulting in a very cranky toddler.  He's been trying to make up for his lack of sleep all week, but sleep begets sleep so the lack of it has resulted in the more lack of it.  Other than it been a rough week for Tobey (and me since my fall allergies have kicked in), here are some of the other highlights:

We got rid of the TV - And we are now a TV-free household.  Adam and I have been talking about this for a long time, and we finally bit the bullet.  We don't watch a lot of tv so it won't be a huge adjustment for us, plus we can pretty much watch anything we want on the computer.  In addition to not really watching much tv, we could really use the space by getting rid of the tv.  It essentially adds a whole new room to our house.  Once we figure out how to reconfigure our living room, I'll post pictures, but I'm thinking it will be a play area.

Last gymnastics class - I got a deal on Living Social for 5 toddler gymnastics classes, and Thursday was our last class.  He always said that trampoline was his favorite event, even if we didn't do trampoline.  This week he got to do headstands and then he played with a parachute...he loved doing both!  Wish I had pictures, but we weren't allowed to take pictures during class.  :(

Got locked out - Yesterday, I left Tobey in the house while I ran outside to get the mail real quick.  Big mistake.  I got back to the front door, and he had locked it!  I was yelling so loud to encourage him to unlock the door that my neighbor from across the street came to try to help me.  Tobey just laughed and laughed, and luckily he stayed near the door where I could see him (our door is glass).  Eventually, he started to say, "mommy, come back in.", and when I couldn't get in, he started to cry.  In fact, he was just wondering around crying and then sat at the door and cried.  Adam was able to come home pretty quickly, but all in all, Tobey was locked in the house by himself for about 30 minutes!  I'll need to hide a key outside.

Last thing - Today after Tobey's nap, he went into the garage, got in the car, and sat in his car seat.  I asked him if he wanted to go somewhere, and he said the store.  So I asked what store, and he said the toy store.  I told him we could go to the library instead, and he seemed really happy about that.  So we head to the library, but it was closed.  Poor Tobey was so upset that tears were streaming down his face.  Poor little guy.

Happy weekend!
