Just a great day!

Right now, Daddy is upstairs giving you a bath. I can hear the two of you giggling and you're splashing around the tub. It's the second day of my October break and we had a great day together. We played with Evan's trucks in the morning. You "helped" me with the laundry. We sorted some of your baby clothes to give to the Women's shelter downtown - although you were convinced that three pairs of pants were supposed to go in the trashcan. :) We began to leave for Sears to buy you some new shoes (your feet grow so fast!) and you fell asleep before we got to the end of the street. So we did a "U"ie and you slept for two hours (a rarity in this house). When you woke up we went to Sears and played on the floor of the shoe section for about an hour trying to find the match to the perfect shoe for your high instep feet. You helped me look in all the boxes!

Then I watched you play and explore in the mall's kid area. That's where this picture came from. You are quite the little monkey! You were making me nervous, but I know that you are still cautious and careful when you are exploring. I wonder how long that will last. We went to the pet store next to the play area and you laughed hysterically at a Pekingese puppy that was jumping all around his cage.

During the short drive toward home, you fell asleep and we sat in Von's parking lot until you woke up. You had a great time grocery shopping, complete with eating a whole banana and a chocolate chip cookie the bakery lady gave you.

When we got home, you wanted to read books on the couch so groceries waited until Daddy got home a few minutes later.

Sounds boring? Not to me...it was a perfect day! I love you, son!
