Funtastica

We took the kids, the other day, to a place in Hopewell called, I
think, funtastica. It has a LITTLE arcade, tubes to go in, little cars to ride on, indoor miniature golf, karaoke, and a few things for kids under 2. The kids had fun. Luka loved it. It was his first real time going somewhere like that and actually playing. At one point, he took off into the big kids tubes. I had to go in crawling after him. Michael and Zac LOVED the tubes. That is their favorite thing. Zac also sure was hamming it up on the karaoke machine. He likes the song, don't know if anyone is familiar, girlfriend by Avil Lavigne. Then he was singing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. They are just too funny. The place wasn't bad. With the price of gas, and being so close to home, it's just fine.

Luka is now 11 months old. He is really getting close to walking. He is still leary of letting go and trying. He can stand, for a long time, without holding onto anything. He learned to crawl up the steps. They are gated. He goes up and then tries to sit. DANGEROUS!! He thinks it's a big game. He is getting 2 more teeth on the bottom. That will be a total of 8. He is a VERY happy, fun baby. He is sleeping in his own bedroom, at night, for about 12 hours. That is nice. He usually gets up by 8am, takes a nap at noon, then again at 4-5ish. That is, only if you sit there and hold him. He gets into everything and loves to test the limits. I don't know the words that I listed before, but I don't think his vocabulary has changed much. Of course, the favorite still is "what's that?" Although, that changed a little. He now tries to say "what is this", but it comes out like "wha ziz zis?" He says Mama, Dada, Baba, Teti, Zac, no no (another favorite of his), and Zoze (the dog Zore, and kisses. He has been trying love you. He also is attempting to feed himself with a fork. A special baby fork. He can do it if we put the food on for him, but he can't get the food on it quite yet. He tries though. He also has a temper. He already fights with his two older brothers. If he wants something, believe me, he will let you know. He is now heading out of the 18 month clothes. He isn't quit in a 24 month yet though. I hate this stage. He is a little shy around strangers. He latches onto me usually. But, I remember Michael doing the same thing. He gets over it eventually. And, he doesn't stop all day. It's a job just to chase him around.

Michael found out, last night, that his concert for tammies will be May 4th. They will have a performance in Pittsburgh the month before that. They will be going to Philadelphia on the 4th of July weekend for a show (we won't be going to that. Not on the 4th of July) and Florida the weekend of June 20th, which we will be going to. It is really a great experience for the kids. When I was in tammies, I loved it. You get to go to all kinds of places and meet all kinds of people. Bad thing is though, all of the fundraisers. Well I guess it is better than paying for the trips yourself.

I feel bad without writing about Zac. He is good. He keeps asking me when he gets to go to school. They are gonna probably let him go next school year, even though he just misses the cut off. If he has to repeat, than so be it. He just wants to feel bigger. He is so mature. I guess it is from having an older brother. And he is just so smart. He watches and listens to everything that Michael does.
