This weekend, RIley and I had some quality time together while Chris is out of town for work. We put a bunch of activities on the books to keep us busy and with the free time that we had, we found more to keep us active and happy.
On Saturday, we went to the JCC and spent an hour playing on the playground, running around the gym and making new friends in the lobby. It was nice outside when the sun was shining and Riley was happy to show me some of his favorite playground toys that he gets to use at school. Check out his new trick on the slide - something else new that he learned at school!
Stacey came over on Saturday evening to join us in an all-you-can-eat pizza fest where Riley was the surprise winner, eating 3 pieces of pizza! Once he went to bed, we had some lazy girl time but enjoyed each others company.
On Sunday, Riley and I started out the morning by going to a Pancakes Before Passover event at the Squirrel Hill JCC. There was singing, story time, games and cold pancakes but Riley's favorite game was walking around and trying to pick up the matzo pieces from the floor and eating them. Needless to say, I was right behind him every step of the way, knocking matzo pieces back to the ground. Then, after politely refusing a nap, we headed back into town and hit up the museum campus. It was such a pretty day that we spent time playing in the park, checking out trucks and pretending to be squirrels but putting acorns in our mouths - oh wait, that was Riley. My job, again, was to swat them out of his hand before he was able to pop them in. The final score was Riley 3, Mommy 6!
Stacey and Brad joined us in the park and we went through the history museum together - checking out rocks, dinosaurs and animals. Riley led the way and showed us where to go and we all had a great time pretending to be dinosaurs. After a trip to the yogurt shop, we headed our separate ways to enjoy the rest of the beautiful day.
And on the way home, Riley proved that when you play hard, you're allowed to crash hard!

He's getting to be such a big boy. His personality just shines! He's got good roll models.
