It has been a busy two weeks

With getting things ready for our trip and doing all the other stuff in between. And with the weather being too hot to play outside its been a challenge entertaining Omar. Luckily he doesn't mind running errands with me.

We went to see the fireworks on the 4th of July with his friend Ella. It was a miserable day with rain and thunderstorms off and on. We were very lucky we didn't get wet and still managed to see the fireworks. Omar absolutely loved it, he was running everywhere and pointing and laughing. It was really cute.

On Saturday evening we went to the park because the band Milkshake was playing again. Omar fell asleep on the way over and woke up close to the end of the concert. It was really crowded and hot. Some of our friends were there, but he was not interested in them at all when he woke up. He was tired, hungry and hot, so you can imagine his mood!

We had play group yesterday morning. Omar had so much fun with his friend Ella, they played piano together, had a screaming match of who can scream the loudest, and the cutest thing, they kept hugging and kissing each other until Omar bit Ella in the arm!
Then they started running up and down the hall screaming each others name. Ella tripped and hit Omar in the eye with her chin, so Omar's eye is red and swollen.
At the end of play date, both kids had some battle wounds.

After play group we had to take Ramy to the airport for his trip to California. Omar and I stopped for lunch in Rockville and then visited some friends before heading home. As there was no traffic we stopped at the pet store for cat litter and believe it or not, came home with a hermit crab. Omar thinks he is very interesting and so do my cats.

As I read up on hermit crabs last night they like to have friends so when we drove to the supermarket this morning we quickly went into the pet store and got two more. When we got home Omar saw Ramy's car in the garage and got really excited. He looked for him in the house and when he didn't find him he started crying. It was so sad. He did this once more when Ramy called, he got on the phone with him and started crying again.
I don't think he is feeling very well, he's been having diarrhea off and on and hasn't been sleeping good. His diaper has been soaked at nap and night time and he wakes up drenched.
He went to bed an hour early tonight, I really hope he feels better in the morning.

Fingers crossed!
