Rainy Play Day
After three days of being spoiled rotten by beautiful springtime weather and lots of happy walks outside, the rain clouds descended; humbling us and leaving mom scratching her head to find an activity. Lucky for us, my other half is a "doer"- the kind of guy that is chock full of ideas and always wants to be on the go. His suggestion? Take the babe to the aquarium!
I guess a part of me assumed those activities should come later in MM's life- for the days when she's a little more cognizant; running around and reaching for jellyfish. But my little 7.5 month old took to the fishes like a moth to a flame. She was mesmerized, mom got to walk, and after an hour or so she drifted off into a perfect little nap. All in all, it was a great rainy day morning- and definitely a better alternative to the usual mall-walking routine.
See you soon, ocean friends.
Earlier this week Maddie and I sat down and came up with some ideas for our summer. She’s enrolled in a few camps here and there, but for the most part we don’t have many plans and I’m really looking forward to some quality time together, just us two.
Always one to level up the fun, Maddie suggested we put all of our ideas in a “Summer Bucket List Jar,” and on unscheduled days we will draw from it and let fate decide what we do… Genius!
