Grease Lightning

Today was the first day this week I didn't follow my usual routine.  I missed my exercise and I could definitely tell how much exercising benefits my mental well being. Oh well, I made it through today with no major hiccups... so, all is well.

Ryan, Douglas, and I went to Lowes today. I got some Morning glory seeds and a couple of honeysuckle plants. I am ready to start my flower beds!

Tonight Douglas attended his first play.... 'Grease Lightning'.  I was so proud of him he made it through the two hour play without a single cry. He was mesmerized by the dancing and singing. Afterwards he had a special moment with his Great Grandpa.  He got a goodbye handshake and then Grandpa kissed his own finger and put it to Douglas's forehead. It was a wonderful moment for me. I can't remember a single time that  I have ever seen my grandpa kiss anyone.  It was a moment I wanted to record so I would never forget. :o)

Nothing much out of the ordinary... but I don't ever want to forget these ordinary days .

Sunshine

Today was a good day.  The sun came out and Douglas and I got to get out of the house. He is doing so many new things. He is grabbing and manipulating toys, babbling away,  and eating big boy (baby) food so well. Every morning I go in his room and he is in his crib grinning back at me. It melts my heart and is the perfect start to my day. I am so thankful I get to stay home with him.  

I was in Walmart with him today and I saw a lady with her newborn.. I almost started to cry when I thought  about how much my lil' guy has changed in 5 months.  I am enjoying each and every day with him. It is amazing how fast time is flying by and how the details become fuzzy.
