Well it seems like we are just getting back to our normal weekday routine. Austin was off Sunday-Tuesday. So yesterday (Wednesday) actually felt more like a Monday. Wednesday though is our grocery shopping day so as soon as I was able to get Colby and myself dressed we headed out to the store. Colby does really well at the grocery store and I am so thankful for that. We are usually only in there 40 minutes I pretty much have it down to a science! Poor thing though boohoos everytime this guy helps us with our groceries at the car. The guy is a little strange but you can tell he's maybe just special and that is why he does the job he does. He always wears a big hat and he is always helping us with our groceries. I mean he makes me feel a little strange too but Colby just freaks out when he comes around. I guess he can sense that he is a little off I dunno? Its almost embarassing though...I try to avoid having him help us but it seems like he is always by the door when we come out. I have even thought about shopping somewhere else b/c of this but I love Rouses and its just so conveniant. It only takes us about 10 minutes or less to get there.
After our grocery shopping and putting everything away Colby always wants to playoutside. So we stay out there a good while then I can usually bribe him in though with juice. We usually play for a little while then it is time for his lunch/naptime. I love his naptime its my time of the day where I can relax and put my feet up for awhile too. After his nap Casee and Jax came to walk with us. Colby does so well on these walks too he just sits back and enjoys his snacks. Jax did really good too I am anxious about when Jax is old enough to really interact with Colby. It was quite warm yesterday afternoon after our walk I was sweating...I guess summer time is on its way! By the time we finished walking it was time for me to start making dinnner. I found a recipe for mac n cheese soup and wanted to try making it for Colby. It was really easy but I don't think Colby was as fond of it. I liked it though. Colby ate it but he didn't lap it up like I thought he would. I think I would make it again though just b/c its easy and is healthy I mean its got carrots and broccoli in it. I couldn't even convince Austin to eat it...he is not a fan of broccoli at all! As usual we took our nightly walk after dinner. Colby is now into "walking like a big boy" so it probably takes us twice as long to round the block. He likes to touch every car, truck, flower, dog, flag, yard decor in sight! Its really cute though how the small things just make him so happy! I love this explorer stage he is in! I think I am really gonna miss the toddler phase. I mean it has its downs sometimes with the tantrums and fits but everything is so new and exciting to them I love seeing the world again from his view!
Today was what has become our Thursday routine trip to the park. This is our mommy/son day! I love it because its just about me and him and having fun. No errands to do, I don't worry about chores we just get out and find a park and have a blast! Last week we had the haircut though but we made up for it last Friday. Anyway we always begin by a trip through Starbucks for mommy's coffee fix. I think I have now become an addict to their coffee. I probably have it 3 or 4 times a week! We went to the park in Algiers again. I like this park when its just Colby and I because its in a good neighborhood, its easy to park and walk in, and there are usually other moms there to talk to and kids Colby's age. Today I saw a MOPS mom I saw her the last time too! Her little boy Jackson is about 4 months older then Colby. They play and interact a little its fun to watch! After the park we came home and played outside then had our usual lunch/naptime.
After his nap we almost always go walking. Today it was just us so I decided to drop his swimming application off at his teacher's house. She lives in our neighborhood. Pretty conveniant! It was a good long walk but not too far! I will probably walk most of the time he is in lessons too! I feel like we are being "green" that way and also healthier by walking! After we got in we played outside until austin got home and it was time for dinner!
I just love these simple days though! Since I am not working I love weekdays! I love when Austin is off too but there is just something special about these days being home and watching Colby grow up and it just being the 2 of us sometimes! I recall fondly days like this spent with my mom when I was little too! I love weekends but sometimes I am just grateful for the weekly routine!
