On Tuesday we went to the MN State Fair. Mimi went too. Drew was almost more excited to ride the bus than to do anything else. We got to the fair around 10:30am. We got home after 8pm. It was a long day. Drew was good at first, but there were not a lot of things he would eat. As the day went on he was really hungry, tired and cranky! He wanted to go on the sky ride and cried half way to the bus home when he was told no. He also wanted a new John Deere tractor toy and had a fit when he was told his birthday was coming up and he could put it on his list. We were hoping he would nap in his stroller, but there was too much to see so that never happened. We had a good time, but maybe next time Drew should stay home.

On Wednesday Drew and mommy went to the Mall of America. Drew was an ANGEL. What a difference food and sleep makes! We had a "mystery ticket" for rides at the mall. Once you scan the ticket to see what you won you have to use it all in one day. Well of course we had 5 tickets to pick from and the one we picked was 100 points! It was around a $80 value which is awesome, but it was just Drew and Mommy. The rides Drew can go on are 3 or 4 points each. We ended up giving our left over 47 points to some other people at the park. We did get a little shopping in and spent some time at Lego land which Drew loves. Drew fell asleep in the car on the ride home. Another long day, but NO melt downs.

Drew is healthy again! Very exciting news for us. Dylan and Joey still have shown no signs. Hopefully it passed them by. When Drew woke up this morning he was calling for Mommy. When he came out of his room he was doing a little fake cry. When asked what was wrong he said there was a ghost in his room. Mommy told him ghosts are pretend. He said it was real and it "booed" at him! This week he has also been telling stories about when he "goes to work". As in he hears certain songs on the radio and drives down certain roads he finds in the atlas. He says he works in Woodbury and Minnesota and sometimes Plymouth. He has quite the imagination. And he is ALWAYS talking to himself. He is a chip off the old (Daddy) block!
