Off the Pan, Into the Fire

My journey through the realm of raising our sons...

I (we) survived

Spring break is over!!! Tuesday was our eleventh anniversary, the kids didn't run me ragged, and the weather was relatively warm. All in all, it was a good week. While not exactly jam packed with fun & adventures, we did go to the mall play area, Minnesota Childrens Museum, and the Minnesota Zoo. Oh, and the grocery store. And for what might be a first, MacDonald's with a stay at the playzone.

I believe this may have been the first trip to the zoo where Liam actually watched & enjoyed the animals. On previous trips he would gaze around, hard to say what was going on. This time he would run up to an exhibit, babble at the scenery, obviously enjoying himself.

Except for a chilly parking lot walk, I made Liam walk everywhere. He likes it. Strolling through the zoo tropical zone, and walking up stairs at the museum were at a slower pace. An enjoyable pace. I liked walking around, a boy at each hand, watching the animals, people, and flowers. A simple, well-made memory.

Start wishing for overnights...those too can make one anxious. Be careful what you wish for. The days when they get in a car and go somewhere is all too close. The first time my firstborn, YOU, left, for more than an overnight, it was into the Air Force...it's when you know you CAN'T get in a car or call them up that brings the most anxiety.
