This afternoon Declan and Mommy joined Owen and his Mommy Hayley for some playtime at Bristol District Park. They found some shade under a tiny little tree and set up some blankets so they could get out of their car seats and stretch out. First try at play time Declan was all ready and smiley while little Owen fell asleep. Second try we placed their heads together but with bodies apart and this time Declan decided he was hungry and sleepy while Owen had a burst of energy and was swinging his little arms. Owen kept hitting Declan in the head which resulted in Declan throwing out his lower lip and starting to cry a little. I have to be honest...it made me laugh. He wasn't hurt and since Owen is only 3 months and as such still looks much smaller than Declan I just couldn't help myself but giggle. At least now we can say that they "played" together.
Now even though we were in the shade of a tree, it was a skinny tree and didn't provide enough shade for the two hours we were at the park. Now Declan's cheeks and forehead are a big red and poor Owen has quite a little burn on his face. Hayley and I feel horrible but they will be ok and now next time we know....bigger tree.
Now last night Declan slept very well. In bed at 10pm and he didn't get up at all until 9:15am this morning. I thought for certain he would be awake all day but he still got in some good long naps. We gave him a bath at 7pm with his lavender scented shampoo and used his lavender scented cream to help relax him for bed and this evening he fell asleep on Mommy at 9pm. We will be up early tomorrow and on the road for 8am off to Ottawa and Grandma May's house. Good thing we used the lavender or else he'd have been too excited to sleep.
