Our Saturday could have looked very different. I woke up stressed about going to the grocery store. This is highly unusual for me: I go to the grocery store every weekend, but I was worried about potential road closures on the highway, about the length of the grocery list and how much I'd have to spend, and spending so much time away from Brian and Caleb. So I did what any normal mom would do: I begged Brian to come with me. "Can we please make it a family trip??" So we did, and while I don't think it'll be an every weekend routine, it was so nice, the three of us making the grocery store rounds. Caleb loves to observe people and take in the world around him, so this is right up his alley.
We had a fun day of playing and around 5pm we left for a friend's birthday party. Earlier in the week we thought I might go by myself, but I asked Brian if he would consider having all of us go together. Starting at 6, with a 7pm bedtime for Caleb, was a dicey but we decided to risk it anyway. Again, totally the right decision. Caleb was a little love, warming up to everyone quickly and eating more sugar in the form of Rice Krispy treats than I think he's ever had at one at time. He was quite the little entertainer. We ended up not getting home until 7:45, and after a quick bath that resulted in Caleb laying down in my nap still dripping wet, we bundled him swiftly off to bed.
At the end of the day I told Brian I was so glad this day didn't go the other way: Where I did the grocery run by myself, gone for two hours of the morning. Where I left at dinnertime, missing bedtime (again), off to the party by myself. The three of us had such a sweet time together and I'm just about ready for our Sunday to unfold the same way!
We managed to color coordinate on Friday morning.
Your hair's so long and pretty!!
