Today I was either crazy or superwoman, you pick. I braved the pouring rain and took both kids by myself for a day of shopping at Branson. I have to hand it to the kids, they were angels much to my surprise! But holy cow, loading and unloading 2 kids 500 times and going in and out of stores, potty breaks, & never having enough hands when trying to checkout, push the cart while holding an infant and never take my eyes off the sprinting toddler..... WHEW. I totally burned all the calories I inhaled at Chic-fil-A.
Speaking of that place, we are in love. FINALLY we have one close enough we can indulge in- and Gage loves the play place. Today he kept stopping to yell "HI MOMMY" every time he climbed to the top of the slide- which was a lot- and wave this huge wave at me, a mere 2 feet away. He melts my heart. Of course I yelled "HI BABY" back proudly each time. I hope he always loves that I'm his biggest fan.
Sister hung out with me and kicked and squealed as she watched the kids play. She may or may not have shared a peach milkshake with me.
All in all, today was a wonderful day with my littles. Almost 5 months in to being a mommy of 2 and I'm just feeling comfortable (or crazy) enough to get out and about on my own with them. I do know it's not for the weary of heart-- and I wonder how I'm going to do it with all 5 of the kids I dream of? (Just kidding, Ryan.)
Oh and while I'm here can I just share a few moments I want to remember with these two kids of mine? I'm definitely starting to see the bond between them. Saylor is all heart eyes for Gage and watches his every move and he is Mr. Protector when it comes to his sister. He calls her "sister" "sissy" and "tater bug".
Me: Gage, who are you going to marry when you grow up?
Gage: (sitting in between us) you and Daddy (he pulls us in, one with each arm, and gives us a big hug)
#heartmelted
Saylor: (laughing and playing with her toys in her Bumbo seat, oblivious that Gage just got a spanking).
Gage: (looks and sees her smiling as he is crying over his spanking) IT'S NOT FUNNY SAYLOR! IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!!!!!
Gage: HERS WAKING UP! (always on car seat patrol to make sure she is sleeping still)
Gage: Yous cute sissy.
Tonight as I laid in bed cuddling with Gage:
Me: I love you.
Gage: I love you too.
Me: I love you so much.
Gage: I love you so much too.
Me: Thanks for being such a good helper today.
Gage: Thanks for buying me my prize.
gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh he is the sweetest little feller.
