yesterday I did something I have been wanting to do for the last several months actually. Go for a walk before Robb heads to work. Normally I hear Robb get up and get ready for work and I try to fall back to sleep. Some days I can and some days I get crabby that he is "so loud". Then this summer started and a new initiative to try to lose some weight. I figured the best way for that to happen was to get up when when Robb does head out for a little am activity and be home to kiss my honey good-bye to work. It was such a great way to start my day. The weather was in the 60's, skies.. clear blue and I was out for a walk! I really could not ask for a better morning.
Max needed to get some shots so I got him up and we had a quick breaky. He just makes my day how happy he is in the morning. He decided he wanted to bring his friends Uniqua and Austin ( backyardigans) along for the drive. He was so funny holding the stuffed animals by their necks and showing them what we were going past. "See 'em? see da cars, back dere"
We got to the peds and i felt so bad for him, knowing what we were heading into but trying to not let it on to him so he wouldn't be nervous. He played happily in the waiting room however when the nurse called his name he didn't want to go. Smart little guy. He was so brave. I always get a little tear when they poke him. The nurse was fast which is the best case scenerio, I guess. When she was done max turned around and hugged me. I told him the "pokes" were all done. My sweet boy even said "bye-bye" to the nurse followed by "all done". I felt so bad that I wanted to get him something in the gift store for being brave. (when he was a baby I'd nurse him or bring in a bottle to soothe him but I don't want to give him a treat or have him soothe himself with food) so we stopped to see what they had in the gift shop. Wouldn't you know they had the remaining Backyardigans buddies we wanted. ( Randomly one saturday Robb took Max to the grocery store and they had a little stand with beanie baby's. Max found an Austin character and Robb had to buy it. Max's love affair with the cartoon justifies it, right?) His reaction to having all the buddies was so priceless. He wanted to hold all five of them. Max= one smitten kitten!
Next, we stopped at my dad's to pick up something we left in Hayward and had a nice visit. We took home some peppers, too. On the way back to our house Robb called and said he was going "out" for lunch so I decide we should, too! Noodles and Co. never disappoints, so that's where we went. Max ate a whole meatball and then flirted with the teenage girls next to us. He is ALL boy!
We got home and I napped a bit in between what else Backyardigan episodes. Finally about 23o max fell asleep and I got enough of a second wind after my mini naps that I went out to cut the grass! Hurray for getting stuff done! My mom came over to hang out with Max while Robb and I went to a training for working the concessions at the Twins games for a church fundraiser. God was on our side when I got distracted and almost got us pummeled by a bus. Thank you, Lord for keeping us safe. I dislike that feeling of what might have been.
