Mom and Alex Take On Chuck E Cheese

All that practicing on Wii Carnival Games really paid off for him today!

This ride lets you simulate being a horse jockey. It was huge!

This Barney ride was in the baby section. I'm not sure why he wanted to ride it so bad.

This monster truck ride was actually kind of rough and both Alex and Brian were holding on for dear life not to fall out of the thing as it lurched up and down.

The much tamer carousel.

After school today, I took Alex to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate his friend Kate's 5th birthday. He had been one other time when he was about 2 and was terrified of everything there. Today was a whole other story as he couldn't wait to try all the games and moving rides. Breaking for lunch was a total inconvenience for him :) It was really nice to spend some quality time with Alex, even just for a couple of hours. I think he appreciated having my undivided attention while we were there and Abby probably had more fun at home with the sitter.
