We arrive at the doc's office about fifteen minutes early and have to wait for them to open the doors. In case y'all didn't know yet, I live in the south where the heat has now reached a 1,000 degrees. So we're sweating our patootie's off waiting on them to open the door. So we get in, get all the paperwork filled out because they haven't had me fill out a hundred times before, we must do it again, and me and Kenny go back while my mom and Connor stay out in the waiting room. While we're waiting on the doctor, Kenny is having a good time walking up and down the exam table, climbing on me, trying to climb off the exam table, throwing a fit to be in the floor, and beating on the walls. Finally the doctor comes in and says everything is looking great. YAY! The doctor said he was above average in head circumference and height. My mother (who wasn't in the room, remember?) heard, "He's a genius and the most adorable baby I've ever seen".
After the doctor, we went around the corner to where my husband works and saw him. We love visiting Daddy at work, and Daddy loves to see us. We said hi to everyone and Kenny showed off his walking and dancing skills as Daddy played his favorite, The Gummy Bear Song. (See last post to find a link to the song, if you've never heard it and want to) Daddy gave Connor two dollars and told him he could get some ice cream after lunch.
So then it was on to the shopping. After a successful trip into the clothes store where I found two cute tops, and a successful trip into Archiver's where my mom found a couple of stamps and Connor was on his best behavior, we decide to go eat at the food court in the mall. On the way there Connor said he was going to buy a cookie with his $2.
Whoever designed the mall was either really smart, or really devious, because you can't sit at the food court without seeing the carousal. As soon as we walk in Connor starts, "I want to ride that!" How much does it cost to ride the carousal? $2. So I told Connor he had to choose, he could buy ice cream, like Daddy suggested, a cookie, like he was talking about, or ride the carousal, but whatever he chose he had to eat his lunch. And he did! My picky, skimpy eater ate all his nuggets and some fries. Then I asked him what he had decided to do with his two dollars and he wanted to ride the carousal, so that's what he did!
So then we headed to Wal-mart because the other day I got a phone call from the portrait studio offering me a free 10x13 photo for Kenny's birthday. I made the appointment for 3 because I figured we'd be all day shopping. Wrong. We get to wal-mart at one! I thought maybe they might could get us in earlier, but nope, they were booked and then the photographer had to take her lunch. I should have just rescheduled and went on home, but nooooooo! I come from a family of 'going to see it through no matter what' kind of people. At 2 I decided I would go ahead and reschedule. But the people ahead of us was still in there. Finally, at 2:30 they left and I thought, "well, there's only a half hour left, might as well stay now."
An hour later we're finally leaving. The kids are tired and my mom and I are beat.
Oh, but the fun doesn't stop there. When we got home we went over to my mother in law's so she could visit with the grand kids and she was making spaghetti for supper. After supper she gave Kenny the rest of his birthday present (It didn't come in in time for the party) It was a little CD player for kids and she had her daughter burn a CD with nothing but the Gummy Bear Song on it, over and over and over and over. So now he can listen to it non stop as much as he wants. I have discovered that when relatives buy presents for kids, they take no consideration for the parents sanity. But it's okay, Kenny loves it and I love seeing my baby happy. Besides, until he figures out how to turn it on and press the play button, I still have control over how many times in a row it plays!
So we were sitting there listening to the gummy bear song for the 158th time and my sister in law starts talking about the new movie Magic Mike. I'm not sure how it happened, but before long she had talked me into joining her in making these pictures to put on facebook. She made one with her fellow and I made one with mine. Then we posted them on facebook and watched everyone start laughing! So I thought I'd share it here too:
So that was my day. It was a really good day, the kids behaved, I got new clothes, Kenny got a good report from the doctor and I'm going to see Magic Mike with my sister in law sometime Saturday.
