1 Tired Mommy + 1 Tired Daddy = 1 Awake Son

Kenny thinks that Sean is going through another growth spurt. At this rate, I think that Sean will be over 6" tall. He is starting to eat a lot more, still junk, but more of it. His sleeping routine is out of whack, too. Last night, we went to see Kyle play baseball and Sean didn't fall asleep until 10:30. Then, he woke up a couple of times during the night and was awake early this morning.
So, with a big cup of coffee, I took Sean to yet another state park today in hopes of finding the perfect fishing spot for Sean and Kenny. Thank God, I found one nearby. Kenny isn't much of a planner, so I planned for us to take Sean for his first fishing adventure on Father's Day. I bought him a Superman fishing pole, a life vest ( because, yes, I could see him taking a header into the pond) and then Kenny will get the bait.
After we found the fishing spot, Sean didn't want to go home. It was about 97 deg. outside and my patience was wearing thin and Sean was getting ready for a tantrum. I tried to explain that Daddy was taking him fishing in a few days and that I didn't have his pole with me, so we needed to go home. Once in the car, I could see him yawn and knew a nap was coming. He napped a little bit and then Kenny came home in time to watch the rest of the LSU baseball game. Kenny and Sean cared for Henry the Hermit crab and now, at 9:30 we are praying that Sean will fall asleep and stay asleep through the night.
