New Beginnings

Friday was an absolute dream with Bugga.  He's back to his normal, charming, silly, lovable, cuddly self.  ::sigh::  How wonderful.  :)  I know that the earlier days were challenging, and honestly, out of all the days that he's been alive to have a few bad ones here and there are a blessing!  I just wonder what he's going through when he's having rough days.

This weekend we helped some good friends move into their new home!  :)  First time home owners... how exciting!  Bugga woke up rather early... 6:42 this time, but it was good because we had to get up around that time anyways to drive across the state to help our friends.  I obviously wasn't going to be much help so I was going to take Tristan shopping with Gaetan's Mom at Ikea while they moved.  Well, we were almost there and we got a call from her saying that she fell down some stairs and broke her toe!  I was glad that she didn't hurt herself worse... but for some reason I thought that there was some humor in the whole thing.  She was going down the stairs to get her shoes, which she fell onto... She was laughing about it so that made me feel like she was in good spirits.  And Ikea isn't a place where you want to go walking around on a broken toe! 

So Bugga and I hung around helping our friends move out of their apartment into their home.  We took a couple of walks around their new place's neighborhood to stay out of the way of moving, which was nice.  A little chilly, but he seemed to love it.  We called Gaetan's Mom later in the day, because she still wanted to meet up, and turns out she broke two toes!  We did end up meeting her for dinner, which was really nice to see her.

We got home around 9:30 and Bugga really hadn't had a nap all day.  The dude did great for waking up early, being strapped into a carseat for most of the day, and staying up late.  :)  Good work Bugga! and when we got home he went poop in the big boy potty... which was fantastic because changing a soiled cloth diaper in public is kind of an ordeal, so I was thankful for that!

This weekend has been great.  Next week we are helping my parents paint, and put in hardwood floors into the rooms we're moving into.  Less then a week in the apartment...
