It's been a few days since I've written. My aunt came back to visit us on Thursday (8/2/12) and I dropped her off at her friend's party in Moreno Valley, which is probably about an hour away. It was really far.
Anyway, Friday was a real treat because she went into town with Jun (her son), Ann (my cousin), and Oli. They were gone about 3 hours. It was great because I love knowing that my son is out having fun. It's not like I'm just pawning him off on someone. He's actually having a good time.
It's really funny, but Oli loves to point at everything. He especially loves planes. He could be doing anything interesting but when he hears a plane, he immediately points and says, "pen!"
We finally had some quiet time on Sunday. Owen watched Oli for me while I got caught up with my book and all my blogging stuff. I have so much to do with each page of my site. The more research I do on search engine optimization, the more I realize I haven't applied half of those things.
Oli took an early morning nap yesterday. Here he is just after waking up:
Back to Oli. Yesterday was a miserable day. I took him to the beach, which he liked but he wanted to stay there for hours. I had to go into the pet store to buy some shampoo for the dog and as soon as I stepped through the door he started screaming. He just threw such a crazy tantrum. It's getting really embarrassing but I feel as though I have to just let him scream wherever he is. He's gotta learn that I'm not going to do everything he wants. So I continued walking into the store with one eye on him while he screamed just outside the store. He eventually followed me when he realized I wasn't going to pick him up and do what he wanted.
They have a great new shampoo for dogs that smell really good and you don't even have to wash the dog with water to use it. I cannot stand her smell any longer. Owen can't take her to the vet because she doesn't have her new shots. We just don't have $150 to spend on dog shots right now. Yes, they require it before they provide services for you. So I decided to give her a bath myself.
I stupidly stopped by the toy store after the pet store. I don't know why I did that, because now he just went crazy. He wanted to sit in the middle of the floor and play with their toy trucks and just hang out there. When I tried to move him he screamed. Then he eventually got irritated with me and laid on the floor and started crying and screaming. It was so horrible and really embarrassing. My arms were full of stuff and could not pick him up fast enough.
We went home and I attempted to give the dog a bath while Oli hung out with me. I thought maybe he would like to just hang out outside. Boy was I wrong! The dog was really good because she didn't fuss much but Oli just did not like it when I turned on the water hose. Oh he screamed!
I finally just had it. I think the heat was really getting to both of us. We are both spoiled because the weather is always so fantastic in Laguna but when it gets slightly hotter than usual, we both get very hot tempered. So I took him into the bathroom, gave him a bath, which he enjoyed for a few minutes, and then just put him into his crib. He normally doesn't take afternoon naps but I think perhaps the beach, the heat, and all the crying got him so tired.
He napped from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM. So that tells me he was really exhausted! Nice little break for me as well. I had time to catch up!
