Weekend (and week) in review

What a week this last one was.  Monday started with  a trip to the Como Zoo.  Makena was a nightmare.  She was grumpy, threw multiple fits, and was just all around terrible. I was pretty embarrassed.  On Tuesday we went to story time.  She was good for all of that until the VERY end.  I had to swoop her up and leave because of another fit.  She is becoming "that kid".  I hope she gets over it soon.  Wednesday we went to Ava's house for a homemade play-dough playdate.  She was pretty good until it came time to leave again.  She even fell asleep on the way home from that one and we live only 5 minutes from their house.  We were there for about 2 1/2 hours.  Thursday was a day where we laid low.  It was boring.  :D  Friday we used the pass from the library to make a free trip to the MN Zoo.  We invited Christin and Ava to join us and we had a VERY fun time.  Lots of animals, fish, and people to look at.  At supper we asked what her favorite animal was and after naming a bunch for her she came up with "goat" on her own.  The goat did make an impression on her.  She was in her stroller next to their gates and a baby one poked his head through and was nose to nose with Makena.  She didn't seem to like it so I baced her up and I petted it to show her it was okay, but she still didn't want to touch him.  I enjoyed it though. Surprisingly, Makena only took a nap for 40 minutes the entire day.  Ugh - even I needed more sleep (but since she napped in the car, no nap for me).  Yesterday Makena and I went leggings shopping (for me) and THOUGHT I found what I wanted, but they got all pilly after about 3 hours; so they are going back today.

Play-dough date:

When did my baby grow up?

MN Zoo:

Makena has a new diaper cover on today.  It's a pretty cute one.  I won it from an online giveaway.  So far so good.  It fits well, she doesn't complain about the legs hurting, and it holds a prefold nicely. Yesterday we made a trip to the new cloth diaper store in Blaine and since I was the first customer EVER in the door I was given a gift certificate. We used it to get MAKENA 2 new covers.  All the covers I've purchased have all been gender neutral so Matthew can use them too.  I even let Makena pick them out.  She seemed pretty excited.  I did, however, feel bad since Christin and Ava came too and they didn't get anything.  :(  I feel as though I should give them half of what the GC was worth.
