On Saturday, after about an hour of playing outside, Evan said he had a headache and needed to go home and "rest his brain". Since he had a concussion Thursday night, this may or may not have been true. Also, later that day he asked if he could play on the computer now and I said "No, the doctor says you have to rest your brain, no computer for a week.". So, he went to the couch laid down for about 10 minutes and then said "I rested my brain, now can I play computer?" Poor thing!
Sunday, was Religious Education class for Colin. So, Evan, Logan and I went to church while Colin was in class. Up to this point I had been leaving the younger boys at home while I went to Church. But, with Dennis out of town I decided to try and bring them along. Evan did awesome! Logan is at a difficult age for church because he wont just lay in my arms anymore he wants to be up and about. He is also becoming much more social. He was showing everyone around us his cup and book. One lady even was turning the pages of his book for him at one point. But, luckily he was fairly quiet. That said, I don't think I will try that again any time soon, or at least I will put him in the nursery next time.
Speaking of Logan being more outgoing...as a baby he was pretty attached to me. He seems to be outgrowing that. When Colin was a baby the pediatrician said from 9-18 months is when separation anxiety is worst. Sure enough by 18 months Colin had pretty much outgrown it and Logan is 17 months and seems to have too. He now doesn't cry at all when we drop him off at daycare and he gives his teachers hugs when we leave. He has become very independent (and strong willed), and really spends most of his time playing nicely by himself or trying to mimic his older brothers. I think I have also been replaced by his lovey. When I pick him up from daycare instead of running to me and hugging me like he used to, he runs to his cubby and starts pointing at his bag so I will get his lovey out. I have been trying to keep the lovey just in his bed for naps and bed time and not letting him walk around the house, with the hopes he won't get too attached. He is really the first of my boys to become attached to a security blanket.
Anyway, after church we met up at the park with a friend for a play date. Then after naps, the boys played with neighbors again.
It was nice weekend with my boys, but we were happy to see Dennis get home too. He has been working pretty hard at work. That combined with the longer commute he has in Indiana, makes it feel like he really hasn't been around all that much.
