Busy Days

Thursday evening Declan and I met up with everyone for Maddy's 18th Birthday at Shoeless Joe's for dinner. Declan wasn't interested in eating much but he had a few French Fries and one bite of cake. I was proud of my shy little guy when he went around the table and said goodbye to everyone individually. I remember how hard I found that as a little kid and he did a good job.

Friday, Good Friday was a Daddy-Declan Day since I was at work. The boys had a really great day. Makes me so happy when I get funny selfies of the boys texted to me throughout the day. I knew they were having a good time. Saturday morning Declan told me how they'd turned Batman into Fatman. When I asked how he told me they used Playdoh and gave Batman a belly with a belly button and everything. I'm pretty sure they played all day.

Saturday morning we met up with my family again but this time for breakfast before Declan's first Lacrosse game as a Paperweight. [Best name for little kids age range ever!]

Before we got ready to leave I was trying to get his mouth guard ready. Declan was having none of it. Started trying to cry his way out of it. I told him he had to wear it to play Lacrosse. That's when he told me he wasn't playing Lacrosse then.

Uggg

So he plays without a mouth guard...for now.

When we arrived at his change room he saw that a little girl from his class was there because her big brother was on Declan's team. Oh, and not just any little girl, it's the little girl in his class that he thinks is pretty: Olivia. He asked me a couple times if she was watching his game. The team playing before him, the yellow team, ended up having his friend from school, Izak on it. They were both so excited to see each other. I hope they talk about it in school on Tuesday.

For his actual game he did ok. He was upset when his head hurt a bit, skull cap I think was a little too tight and that also made his helmet a little too tight. He was better after I fixed it and took the skull cap off. Then there was a little moment when one of the coaches spilled water on Declan's chin and he started crying again. He doesn't want water down the front of him. Aside from that he tried. He played the entire time and said "that was fun!" When it was over. 

Saturday was such a nice day too. We got out in the backyard later in the day and Declan got to stay up an hour past his bedtime because we were all having so much fun outside. 

Then last night the Bunny came. Declan said his eyes were open all night and he's sure he heard the Easter Bunny.

"What did he sound like?"

"Quiet."

Guess that's good. Declan was treated to a short egg trail with lots of chocolate and numerous Kinder eggs. At the end he got a couple new "Stick Bots" and two new books. A nice, quiet Easter.
