Touchy Feely

Last night Lucas and I had the evening to ourselves-Marc had an event for work. I was a little nervous-even now I am still not 100% confident in my mothering abilities. Plus the little guy has an ear infection and is getting about 50 teeth in all at once. This makes for one cranky boy. But he was great-we got home, did our routine. We even met a huge puppy on the street who was very excited to meet Lucas. This was a Newfoundland-these dogs are enormous and would have taken both Lucas and I down in one jump! When I was telling Lucas there was a puppy on the street and we were going to see him, he was so excited! He nearly jumped out of his car seat.

Another of Lucas' loves is going outside. So we took a walk in our back yard before dinner and he found two leaves that he just had to bring into the house. At first he liked to wave them at Jeff but eventually he found tearing them up was more fun. Jeff just wanted to eat them.

The most interesting thing that happened was that Lucas wanted to feel the bushes. We have three evergreen bushes and one that is more of a hedge. He would go back and forth between them touching the leaves/branches. He is really into touching everything these days-he loves to touch the bricks on the house and last night we discovered the shutters and the window screens. Good thing it was bath night!
