Michael after his nap today. Brady and I were laughing over his hair and the fact that he sat at his table for 10 minutes in a daze totally unphased by anything. Can you tell he’s not quite with it yet?
We took him to the Children’s Museum today, which I would kindly like to re-name “Children’s Lost and Found.” It was honestly a mad house of panicked parents frantically chasing toy crazed children. Our morning consisted of nothing more than Brady and I both yelling over other parents, “Mikey come here!”, “Mikey stay by us!”, “Mikey, you have to walk!”Mikey…Mikey…MIKEY…MICHAEL!”….and then it turned into, “Brady, go get him. Brady…BRADY…BRAADDYY!” HOWEVER, he had a blast and played for hours!! There was a gate that had to be closed in the “3 and under” area and for some reason, Michael took a liking to opening and closing it. When we were walking back to the car, I asked him what his favorite part at Children’s Museum was and he said, “ummmm…da gate.” Of course. Of course it was.

Well, well, well. JUST when I thought we were in the clear……… On Thursday, I saw no signs of snow…it had all melted, the sun was brilliantly shining and I was a happy girl. We had raised our wine glasses ( a time or two) and “cheers’d” to the onset of spring. But noooooooooooo…Mother Nature reared her ugly head, laughed at us, and slammed us with a full-out blizzard on Friday. I cried. Okay, not really (I did whine a lil’), but cccooommmmmeeee ooooonnnn! Enough is enough lady! Brady knows that I go stir crazy in the winter as I hate being inside SO being the gentleman that he is, took me to my beloved Chicago for a splendid day of shopping! Now, for those of you that know me, you know that this is no easy task. Running a marathon might have been a better option for him. But he was patient and wonderful as usual and we stocked up on much needed (do new heels count?) clothes for our trip. Such a wonderful day with a wonderful wonderful Brady!
