bathtime

If it weren't already past his bedtime, I could've watched Kian take a bath tonight all evening long! He was having so much fun pouring and stirring and pouring some more. Guess what the only things he was playing with? His bathtime pouring pitcher, a small plastic drinking cup, a large plastic cup from Taco Bell, the lid, and the straw! For at least a half an hour! This kid is so cute and he is such a thinker. I swear I could hear the gears spinning while he was 'playing'!

I am going to say this is my favorite age...every age so far has been my favorite age. We've never slid backwards (that I can remember). He is such a sponge! Absorbing and learning about everything he sees, hears, touches, tastes, smells, and experiences.

I decided to run to the craft store this afternoon after I picked him up from daycare. First stop was Joann Fabric, which didn't have anything of what I wanted. But it was fun to let him walk through the store a little with me. At one point, he was pushing the cart under me and I was holding him back, making him work really hard! He's like our dog, Maggie...he needs to be WORKED!

So we carried on over to Michael's and wandered and wandered. Kian was the oh-so-patient accompaniment that I needed. All it takes is something new in his hands every five minutes or so. So easy to do in a store! Especially when mommy is wandering and wondering what to get. The only reason he got a little fussy was when I tethered him into his carseat to head home AND he was hungry! I didn't even have a diaper bag with me, but luckily I at least had a couple of satsumas, which he loves. We stopped to grab Chinese at Haggen for mama and Daddy and Kian just hung out close by but wandered just enough to curb his curiosity. Such a good boy! He EVEN helped me carry the chopsticks!

I like this blog...I can post lots more of my thoughts about this little boy, my family, and our happiness than on facebook and the people who want to read it can, and those that don't aren't 'stuck'! If you are reading this, thanks for caring. I love this kid!
