Fun at the Mall

So far today has been another awesome day! I just love Mondays! Mondays are usually when Austin is off and we always try to do something fun as a family! Today we decided to take Colby out to Lakeside...we probably would have chosen something outdoors if the weather hadn't been so dang cold for March! So we thought the mall would be fun we haven't been since December I don't think. We figured he would have fun seeing the Easter Bunny and riding the Easter Eggspress train!
First we began the day by stopping at the post office we had a package to send to Shelbi and Maggie. Colby had never been to the post office before I think he had a blast. I just let me him stand by me in the line and he was soo good. A few months ago we probably would not have been able to pull this off but now that he is getting older he is pretty well behaved in these situations. He just stayed close to me and enjoyed looking around at all the people. After that we headed to the mall. Once we got there our first stop was the train. As always Colby loved it. I put him in and he doesn't even make a peep. He just sits there like such a big boy! He is the only child his age that I have ever seen ride that train without an adult! I am so glad he's so big and enjoys that type of stuff! We didn't do Easter bunny pics just b/c I felt like he was dressed more like Christmas then spring. If it had been warmer and he had been in some shorts or something I probably would have done them but oh well! He enjoyed walking around the middle of the mall. We took him to Pottery Barn kids and let him walk around and check out that store. We actually didn't buy anything for him it was very hard though they just have such cute stuff! After that store we went to the Disney Store. Oh my this was by for his favorite. He ran around checking out all the stuffed animals then ran over to something with Mickey on it and started saying "Mickey Mickey" It makes me so proud that he already seems to love all things Disney! He ended up making out like a bandit in that store...I found some sunglasses, pjs, and a toy firetruck, along with a sippy cup he just had to have, and a thumper bunny. Most of this will go in his Easter basket though.
We then went to Williams Sonoma. This was a store for mommy and daddy. We both found some yummy things to cook. I am going to try this lemom poppy seed mix to make muffins sometime this week! By the time we finished in there Colby was getting antsy. We took him to Chickfila. Oh and my big boy ate almost the entire kid's meal. I was so proud. Now that he has discovered ketchup he loves chicken nuggets. Its so much easier now though that he can sit there and eat like a big boy! It used to be such a pain to bring baby food and bottles! I was proud all in all how good he was in the mall. He acted like such big boy the whole time! He also got sooo many compliments in every store we went in how good he was and how cute he is! I have to say he did look adorable in his fireman romper! Glad he got to wear it before the weather got warm! So that was our morning...now we are all settling down for naps and rest time! The weather has warmed up some so I am sure we will get in some outdoor playtime before the day is over!
