"Momma's Boy was having a meltdown without me today"

Recently I have joined a group called mops in Richmond Hill. Today was supposed to be my first meeting since I missed the last one. I got there and took Roman to his room that he was supposed to be in while I was in class. He was fine when i dropped him off and I quietly left without him seeing me. Maybe 5 Min's later the lady from the room came and got me and said roman wouldn't stop crying. She said he started crying after my friend Brandie dropped off her little girl cambria. Roman and Cambria are both friends so I think he was confused because normally we are all together when they have play dates. I stayed for a few minutes while he calmed down and sneaked out again. Again, 5 Min's later she came back to get me and said he wouldn't stop crying by the door and wanting momma. This happened about 4 times. So after the 4th attempt I gave up and got him and left. I felt bad for him and cried a little myself. I hate seeing him upset. I kinda feel like i abandoned him. But i know I didn't. He needs to get used to this being in class for when he starts school in a few years. My mother-in-law watches him when i work and he crys when i drop him off still after 2 years of her watching him. But only for a few Min's she says. I mean sometimes I wish I could send him to a daycare to get used to being around other people besides me and ruslan all the time. I just never want to put my kids in a daycare environment. So I'm in bind and don't know if I should try to go back and see how he does.. The moms where all very nice and said alot of kids do this. I just don't want to go there and keep missing the classes because I'm having to calm roman down every 5 Min's. : (

"Roman's 2nd Birthday Party"

We had Roman's birthday party yesterday and it was a huge success.. We had tons of family there(almost all of Ruslan's family of course..lol) and a few friends. It was a little hectic but it turned out perfect. All the kids where on top of roman when he was opening presents so he wasn't that interested this time. Maybe by christmas he will be. : )  I didn't get as many pictures as i would of liked to but i did get a few. :)

"Happy 2nd Birthday Roman"

"The last few days of our florida vacation"

Friday
So on Friday we took roman to sea world. He loved all the "Fish and Rarrr Rarrr's" as he says... I have never seen sea world not busy. I mean there where people there but not as many as I have usually seen. They only had 2 shamu's shows scheduled that day. And the earliest one was at noon. We got there right after they opened so we got to see everything before 11. So we had a hour to kill. We decided to take roman over to the kid area where they have a splash area, slides, and little rides. We missed half of the shamu show because he didn't want to leave the splash pad. I couldn't blame him though. It was so hot out and looked like fun.

That night we met my uncle and his wife and there kids at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritiville. It was a nice dinner with them. Just very busy. I got to meet my cousin's little boy(2 weeks old), which is such a cutie.

Saturday
Today we went to Islands of Adventures with my aunt and uncle. They where able to give us tickets which was awesome. The park was crazy busy so we didn't get to ride anything except Harry Potter which was awesome. They had a baby swap so we waited in line about 30 min and ruslan and my uncle got to go on it first and then ruslan took roman and i got to do it. I think that is a great program that they have. It was just such a hot day and so many people at that park. We did stay for a few hours and spent some time with my family which is nice.
Sunday
Finally coming home!!!

"The BIG Day"

Thursday-"The BIG Day"
So today is the big day for my little man. He turned 2 years old today. I still cant believe it. It just seems like yesterday that i had him. Today was a very special day for him. We took him to disney world for the first time. I know he might not remember it but I have the pictures to show him when gets older. The experience was so worth it. Seeing his face light up when he saw buzz was priceless. We rode that ride like 3 or 4 times. He could of rode that all day but the lines where getting longer as the day went by. In the morning they wern't that bad though. This was by far the best day!!

Such a magical place

Passed out as soon as we got into the car.

That night we wanted to take roman somewhere special for dinner. Our hotel was right across the street from downtown disney so we decided to go over there and have dinner at rainforest cafe. The food wasnt all that good but the environment was pretty cool. These people that where sitting next to us had these 2 kids that had these really cool cars from the car movie.. And roman was getting so upset because he wanted to play with them. So after dinner we found the store where you can make your car and add these cool little things on there. So this was his birthday gift for the day. We went to the lego store and they had these really cool woody and buzz figures made out of lego's. They where so awesome and roman kept giving them kisses which was so sweet. He knows how to say buzz and woody perfectly now. I think i might change his birthday cake to buzz now. : )

"Day 3-6 of our florida trip"

Day 3
We didn't do to much during the day because it was sunday. We did go to the biggest mall ever and had lunch at the cheesecake factory. I love that place. That evening our friends parents came over to watch the kids so we could go have a nice dinner out. They are the nicest people. I have been wanting to go back to this resturant called "Casablanca Cafe". It's right on Fort Lauderdale beach. This is the best food I have ever eaten in my life. Me and Ruslan went there on our honeymoon and loved it. So we both wanted to go back and re-kindle our memories. I still can remember the dress and perfume I wore there night. : )

Couples night out

"Happy"

Our Favorite Rest. behind us



Day 4
Today we went to this place called Flamingo Gardens. It was a small park that had a few animals and lots of spiders. The reason I say spiders is because they had those banana spiders everywhere we walked. Our friend Brian was so fascianted by them, that he kept taking pictures of them. We didn't stay that long because the heat was just so darn HOTT. We all just wanted to sit in a pool all day. So we decided to eat at this great pizza place for lunch. I love going on vacation because you can try all these different restuarnts that we don't have where we live. After we had pizza we headed to John and Linda's house to go swimming. They had such a nice pool and the kids loved it. It started to rain so we headed home so roman and I could take a nap.

Caught this cute picture of Roman

 That evening we went and had dinner and let the kids play around the house.

They loved playing with each other

Beautiful Maddy

Day 5
We couldn't really decide what to do because it was so hott the day before. So we decided it would be fun to take the kids somewhere where they could run around for a little while.

 Day 6
Today we had to leave our friends and head to Orlando for the next few days to spend roman's 2nd birthday there. We decided to go have one last breakfast before we headed out. During the time we spent with our friends Roman learned how to say "Maddy" and a few new words. I love how his vocabulary is becoming bigger. When we where saying goodbye roman went to give maddy a kiss but licked her instead on her face... He is a little to young for that.lol

Caught these two after we had breakfast
