a couple fridays ago, my mom took chet on a date to a lego festival downtown.
chet loved it.
he got to play with TONS of lego, see some pretty crazy lego creations, and pick out some new lego to bring home with him.
and since chet was away all evening on his special date, matt and i decided we should take holden on a special date too.
we hardly ever get to spend time with just holden.
i suppose that it is just how it works for the second child, but sometimes it makes me really sad.
chet and i spent so much time together - just the two of us.
and i would give anything to get the chance to do that with holden.
we sure had fun taking holden out that friday night.
we took him to the wave pool to swim and then grabbed some pizza on the way home.
we spent most of our time at southland just lounging in the kiddie pool, but we did venture to the big slides and out into the waves a couple times.
holden was such a good sport - even when i accidentally got me and him stuck directly under the giant bucket of water at the exact time it dumped out!
holden has been a real trial since we moved here. he has been so angry.
i think all the changes that came with the move (new home, new schedule, new faces) was harder on him then we figured it would be.
i assumed chet would be sad about the move, but figured that holden wouldn't really care.
but it turns out that he did, in his own little way.
i'm not saying he specifically misses any part of our old home, but i think he has been confused.. and that has led to his anger issues.
and those anger issues haven't mixed well with my sadness issues. and it has been hard.
but this past week, our lovely little holden is back. and it is so so nice.
we missed him!
i don't have any pictures from our swim date, but my mom took lots of their lego date.
