Mom & Reed Day

Yesterday Reed and I went to Chuck E. Cheese for some Mom & Reed time - it was an absolute blast!  I told him that before we could do any games, he had to eat 1/2 his pizza. With NO grumbling or complaining, he did just that and I was so proud of him (the way he acted at Target just minutes before was not so nice, but I choose to brag on my child in this post!). It took a while to eat - the chewing went very slowly because he just stared at all the games knowing what was to come. After we finished, we went crazy! I won't tell you how much I spent on tokens - it's a little embarrassing - but we played and played. There were some games that were really fun and I realized that I should NOT go to Vegas as I caught myself saying "Oh, just one more token and I'll win....just one more..." After we cashed in tickets - a little over 700 - he came home with a football, a basketball, 2 plastic spiders, 2 plastic dinosaurs and some candy. He told me more than once that he wished he could live at Chuck E. Cheese. He's already put in a request to have his birthday party there and I have to admit, that would be pretty fun. If only they had one in Granbury!!! There was a simulator that he rode that was just a little too big for him. He could barely reach the pedals, but it was pretty funny to watch. I can't get the video to load, so here's a pic...he really had a great day!
