Another Fun Friday

Another week comes to an end, and we have been busy with our usual activities. Today was a MOPS day, and we listened to a speaker talk about the five love languages of children based on Gary Chapman's book. Dave and I have gone through the study for adults and found it very helpful in our marriage. The 5 love languages for children are the same as adults (quality time, receiving gifts, physical touch, acts of service, words of affirmation). I have already tried to figure out J's, but it won't be totally clear until around age 5. J had a great time in MOPPETS! His teachers had previously told me that he loves music time and gets really excited about doing the motions to every song! Today, they told me that he was dancing like they had ever seen before..so much like his Daddy! :) We had lunch at Chic-fil-A with my friend, Kelley, and her two year old son. We hadn't been in about two weeks and Miss Lida, the older lady who works in there, was so happy to see the boys. She had our table set up with a little parfait for each one of us! She loves watching the boys grow up and kind of spoils both of them by letting them help her sweep when there aren't many people or giving them little treats. People like Miss Lida make me love it here! We let the boys play for a little while in the play area. J loves it in there, but won't really climb on anything unless we go with him. He'll climb up a few steps, and then he comes right back down! He loves the buttons and spin toys! He is very different on the playground as he'll climb higher than I am comfortable with at times. Well, today was little different...he threw his cautious side to the wind...climbed up to the top (I just watched)...down the slide...smiling the whole time! I was so proud of him, and we even called Dave at work to tell him! I guess J had such a good time today that taking a nap wasn't on his agenda! It was on my agenda. Urgh!!!
