Wheee!

Had a good time watching Michael yesterday for the most part - we had a great time at Abby's Pizza and he actually ate most of the toppings and even contemplated actually eating some of the crust. That is a huge step for him!! lol. Had a few not so great moments while trying to take him for a walk - the big one being him wanted to take these kids baseballs while they were swinging. Oh well, he didn't take them but we had to leave because he wouldn't leave them alone. But when we got back home he had a 30 minute crying fit because his momma wasn't home and I wouldn't take him to his Nonny's house. He's still at the point where he won't listen when he's upset - even though he seemed to listen while I explained that his momma was out to dinner and when she got back we'd all go to his grandma's place and give presents and eat cake and his Nonny would be there, immediately after that he'd start up again. But he finally was able to calm down and get past it, and from there we had a great night. After absolute AGES everyone arrived home. lol.

We watched one of the Planet Earth episodes - wow, is that great photography or what?! Amazing. The one we watched was the Shallow Seas one - I had no idea that the humpback whales momma had to go for 5-8 months without eating any food so her calf could survive in the warm seas like that!! Crazy. The pygmy seahorses were adorable, especially the little head butting thing they had going on. Felt bad for the seals, even if that was an absolutely incredible great white shark shot.

This morning also went well. Stayed at her place a little longer so I could finally watch the premier episode of this year's Dancing with the Stars. That was fun!! I loved Joey F's routine, and enjoyed Clyde Drexler's and..err, the Cheers guy. How in the world could he not be at ALL nervous?! lol. And I also loved Apolo Ohno's routine - especially considering that he's actively competing at the same time. Insanity. I've missed a few episodes, but from the link in this article I can see how has been eliminated and it wasn't any of my favorites so it's bearable. Going to have to start watching it again, though, as Heather's mom said that she thinks Apolo is the best dancer this time around. (And on a completely fangirl note - he has the BEST smile! Incredibly charming and brilliantly white. Yay!!!)

You should see Planet Earth in High Definition...it's breathtakingly amazing!

I can imagine!! I don't know anyone with HD though, so maybe someday. Heather's hoping to buy the DVD's of Planet Earth so we'll have a chance. :D

btw, you have a Wii don't you? One of my friends is getting one and hoping for game suggestions. She's got four kids and is doing the Wii instead of camp this year. lol.

Well, it comes with Wii Sports which is a blast.

Excite Truck is a fun racing game.
Zelda Twilight Princess is a great RPG
Super Paper Mario is a fun platformer but it has lots of reading so might not be good for real little kids.
Rayman's Raving Rabbits is supposed to be pretty good, but I haven't played it yet.

I still find Wii Sports is what I play the most. lol
