Friday Fun Day

Today I met a couple friends for lunch. We headed to "The Cheese Course." It's a new restaurant down the street. The sandwiches were great and the menu for cheese tasting looked spectacular too. I can't wait to go back. The store was cute and had lots of fun things in it but it was too small to browse at lunch time. We ended up sitting outside which was fine but definitely HOT. Mason was a great baby and slept through the whole meal.

It was great to have adult conversation with the girls. It's been a long year with pregnancies, conflicting schedules, etc. Catching up was fun. I need to make a point of getting together with everyone more often.

In kid news...Mason is starting to be more of a baby with characteristics and personality developing. It's a little too early to say what's a real reaction but when he does smile (bowel movement) he is adorable with that smile of happiness. I can't wait to witness a real smile because he's happy to see me. It is a little bitter sweet to think the "baby" as in newborn is pretty much gone. He was so big when he was born that newborn clothes were already too small.

I picked Miller up at school today and he was giddy with excitement. That's also a treat to see him get so excited he literally bounces because he doesn't know how to react. We headed to Target for some birthday party shopping (he has a swim party tomorrow) and some browsing. He did pretty well for not being able to get anything for himself. He made it through the evening well behaved and earned his final prize for being good. Since that method didn't really work, we are done with stickers for good behavior and prizes.

It was a nice Friday. Ryan made dinner and I am enjoying a Corona. Now, if the little one will go to sleep so we can struggle to stay awake to watch one tv show we DVR'd over the past 2 weeks I would be super happy.
