Stickin' Cute

Oh, the bug was so cute today.  We were up at 6:30 a.m. getting ready for the day.  That part wasn't so cute.  But, daddy had some appointments that we had to take him to and pick him up. So, the bug and I saw it as an opportunity to go shopping.  I'm redoing the bathroom, so we went to Menards to pick out paint chips.  Well, did you know that there is like the coolest play yard at Menards?  I didn't know this until we went to check out the garden section.  We came upon this huge playset.  Mind you, the bug has never been in a real swing.  In fact, come to think of it, he's never even been in an infant swing- I failed to set it up.  I have failed as a mother!  Anyway, well, there may be some saving grace to my title...all of the anticipation built up to this moment:  The bug's first swing ride.  It was the cutest moment.  I strapped him in.   1...2...3... Swing!  Oh, he just giggled and giggled and giggled.  The look of pure joy on his face was priceless.  We must have swang (swung, swinged??? they all sound pretty funny) for 5 minutes, which is a long time for my little guy!  It was such a fun moment.

Maybe we all just need to go swing on the play set at Menards and forget about all of life's troubles for 5 minutes.

Well, I did fail as a mother.  I didn't have my camera!  (That's why there's a random tub photo up).  Jim said "You are the mother of a 1 year old.  You need to have a camera with you at all times!"  Oh, by the way, I think he will be "Mr. Fixit" from now on.  He's got quite the line up for the weekend: Yard, vehicle #1 (won't start), vehicle #2 (making embarrassing noises), towel bar in the bathroom, and, and, and...
