June 7-8 - David's House

June 7-8 - David's House

We arrived at David's House and Levi's mood seemed to instantly improve so that was nice! We got checked into the lion room and put our stuff down. Immediately Levi wanted to go out and play. I said sure, without even thinking about him running and jumping and falling. So we head outside, and I swear he hadn't taken 2 steps before he took a digger into the dirt. But thankfully nothing bruised or bled, so he just continued on.

He was climbing everywhere. There were several other little boys out on the playground and the three of them just kept each other going. They were both a little bigger then Levi and he was running hard trying to keep up with them, but it was fun to see him interacting with them and enjoying his time outside and with other kids. They were playing some make believe game and Levi was really getting into it with them, which is always such a joy for us to watch.

Levi really wanted to go in the baby swing even though he knows how to swing on a big kid swing. He was having a blast and giggling up a storm on it. Thankfully his bum isn't any bigger though or else he wouldn't fit very well. Getting him and out was quite a trick too. Thankfully he is pretty flexible.

While Levi was playing, Jay and I discussed dinner since there was no meal at David's House that night. Of course we weren't taking Levi to a restaurant. For several reasons, 1 - he couldn't sit still for that long in a public setting and 2 - we don't want to expose him to that many germs if we can help it when his counts are low. So we decided to order take out. There are only a few places that deliver, so our options were limited, but there is a pizza place that is really good, so we went with that.

We stayed outside and played while we waited for it to be delivered. Levi was having a blast!

Once food arrived we went in to eat. There was parsley on Levi's spaghetti and at first he wanted nothing to do with that and was refusing to eat, but finally we got some spaghetti on a plate that didn't have any parsley on it and he ate fairly well.

Then it was off to the playroom to play. Levi was running around and being a crazy man, but having a blast doing it. He was playing with every toy imaginable. Jay was spending his time in the playroom cleaning as the playroom was an absolute disaster zone. I don't know if parents were letting there kids just free for all down there, or if they just didn't care, or what, but it was awful. Every toy possible was out and spread around and nothing was organized.

Levi and I played blocks and relaxed.

Then we were being silly as a family and took some cute family photos. We added a few fella's to our family. Jay had a giraffe, and the giant bear and I were cuddling.

Then Levi and giant bear had a huge cuddle!

And then it was off to bed. Levi didn't want a snack tonight, so we headed right up the stairs to get ready for bed. We read stories and then I headed to the shower while Jay and Levi did bed time and then Jay moved to the hallway. By the time I was out of the shower Levi was out cold. That was one tired little boy as it couldn't have been more then 10 minutes before he was sound asleep!

I headed down stairs for a little adult time and Jay followed along as well. We had a little snack and then settled into the living room to relax. The house seemed very quiet! It wasn't long before I headed up to bed as it had been an emotionally and physically draining day and I was exhausted. I have no idea what time Jay came up as I was out cold long before then.

The next morning Levi was up bright and early as usual. I swear at some point I am going to convince that kid that an eye mask is a great tool, so that it will stay dark longer for him and he might sleep in. I attempted to get Levi to lay in bed with me and cuddle for a few, but when that didn't work we headed down to the playroom at 5:45. I had everything I could do to keep him quiet down there, but at least there aren't any rooms immediately connected to the playroom. We settled in with a few books, and then a few games.

Then we cooked for awhile. He brought me all kinds of yummy food.

At 7:00 Levi and I headed up for breakfast. The two little boys that had been outside last night were in the kitchen and they were all getting each other going. It was quite the chaos to keep Levi settled on eating and to actually eat a breakfast as they were running around and doing there own thing. It seemed like their parents had very little control over them. Eventually Levi had eaten enough and I told him he could go play while I picked up the kitchen and quickly finished eating.

Levi built a pyramid and wanted to show it to daddy. Since it was 8:00 and we needed to get moving I didn't feel bad at all for Levi going in and waking Jay up with his pyramid.

Then we all got ready and got packed up. It took a few minutes to get everyone moving and situated, but eventually we were all dressed in clothes and were headed out the door. We checked out, but I talked to Jaye about the possibility of us needing another night but that we hopefully wouldn't because of Levi's party. She said to give her a call as soon as we knew as the house was pretty full for the night, but that she would for sure get us in if we needed a room.

Then we said our good-byes and headed out the door!

Thanks as always David's House! We will be back! But hopefully not too soon!
