Phil traveled back to indiana for a good friends wedding, and I, unfortunately, had to stay and work due to unforgiving shortage of vacation days. To turn a frown upside down, I decided to make the most of my time with Wilek and went to the farmers market, DBFA pool party, the aquarium, and library in 2 days time. I was mom of the year, until he got sick from all the germs i exposed him to. awesome. Here were fun times before the cold hit:
We go to the farmers market fairly often. So that wasnt new. But the trip to the pool was his first ever. We have done a few splash pools at Mimi and PopPops and Busia and DziaDzias, but this was a whole new ball game. Similar to past experiences, when I first put him in the water, he screamed bloody murder. I thought the afternoon was done-for, but we kept with it in the splash pad and introduced him to some toys and he slowly got use to the water.
We finally made our way over to the big kid pool, which was actually much warmer, and he loved it!!! Someone was nice enough to take a quick picture of us. But there was also a professional photographer there, hired by the DBFA and I hope to order/buy some of the pictures she was taking, too. Wil loves being thrown in the air and ‘jumping’ (read: falling) from the side of the pool, into the water. It was such a fun day!!
We are yearly members of the aquarium, so on sunday afternoon while i was shopping we decided to hop into the aquarium! I got a few videos that didnt really turn out, and here was one picture. Hes definitely more into it now. But we only stayed for 45 minutes due to nap time.
Mondays are my normal days off, and I try to attend “mother goose nursery rhymes’ at the library, where they read books and sing songs for ages 1 through 3. Of course the one week I make it, its cancelled as they get ready for the school year. Luckily, I was not the only mother to not know this, and there were plenty of kids to hang out with for an impromto play-date. (haha, wordpress tried to correct my ‘imprompto’ to ‘improper’. I assure you it was a very civilized play-date.)
(Yes his shoes are too small.) The next morning he woke up with a killer runny nose that is slowly making its way through our house. The price we pay for fun!!
