Someday you just wouldn't trade for anything. This morning, I got lucky with Isabella going to lunch with a friend at the Rainforest Cafe, Karen went to church and then to swimming, which left Liam and I together alone. Well, we just had a ball. We took the wagon and headed for the park. The weather was much cooler than yesterday though still a bit humid. We played catch with ball and glove, rode down the slide, went on the swing and just hung out and laughed together over next to nothing. Liam's hunter instincts came out as he chased the birds in the park. ("I want to say hi to birdie"-sure son go ahead, then a primal yell and a short chase until the bird flys off-"the birdie flew away, daddy"). Then of course, we played in the sandbox for with a few other kids for awhile. Then we walked home, with Liam pulling the wagon all the way home, to have lunch. It may not sound like much, but it was a fabulous morning and great father/son time. (Plus he was decked out in Yankee gear!!). Well, now it's nap time for him and time for me to do some gardening. In case you think this is a normal day, here's a synopis of yesterday.
Yesterday was quite busy, with my haircut at 9 (Liam came with me and behaved wonderfully), Izzy's gymnastics at 9:15, then Izzy and I at t-ball from 11 to almost 1 pm in the heat of the day while Liam went shoe shopping with Mommy. Lunch with Izzy and then her haircut at 2 pm. Finally, I did three hours of shopping (my once a month visits) at Sam's Club and Walmart (there's you always find something unexpected there) plus a visit to one of our favorite nurserys in Baltimore while the rest of the family took an afternoon snooze. Many dollars later and more miles on the car than I'd like to count, I got home around 7:40, just in time for Mom to take Izzy out shoe shopping.
