I had the day off from work because of the holiday. Since it is so rare to have a day off without any plans, I thought it would be a night day to spend with Julia, doing things she would like. I thought about taking her to the Boonshoft Museum, but I figured it would be crowded with most of the schools being off. Julia recently discovered she likes shopping, but I also figured the mall would be crowded, so I thought about a few things around here.
We started off watching a few cartoons in the morning after breakfast. Then we went grocery shopping, where Julia proceeded to give me a heart attack. She likes sitting in the main part of the cart, not the kid seat. Well today she refused to stay sitting and I was afraid she was going to tumble out onto the concrete floor. And she almost did!! At one point she stood up AGAIN. So I stopped the cart to get her to sit down. Well stopping the cart threw her off balance enough that she fell backwards out of the cart!!!! ACK!! A managed to grab a foot, she managed to grab the cart with one hand and a nice old man who was walking by also helped catch her. So she never hit the floor and was not hurt in anyway other than being pretty scared. After comforting her, I put her in the kid seat and strapped her in, she did not object like normal. Julia was wiping away her tears after she stopped crying and said "tears, tears".
We stopped at home just long enough to put the groceries away and change her diaper.
We then headed off to Goodwill. I was in search of some fancy dresses Julia can use to play dress-up with. I found some cute ones and bought them about 2 sizes to big, that way they will work for awhile. The checkout lady at Goodwill was quite appalled however, that I was just going to use these fancy dresses for play! Oh well. I got about 6 dresses, a skirt and a hat for Julia all for about $15. I would pay more that that for just ONE play dress at a store!
After Goodwill we stopped at a used book store I recently discovered. Julia ran around all the books while I looked. Luckily there were few customers and the owner did not seem to mind. I picked out a few books for me and a few for Julia. I even found some Sesame Street ones for her!
As we were checking out at the book store, I thought it smelled like Julia had just pooped her diaper. I did not bring the diaper bag with me and we were only a few minutes from home, so she just had to wait to be changed. When I put her in her car seat, she said "I sit on my poop!!"!! I about bust a gut laughing. Yes sweetie, you are sitting on your poop until we can get home to change you. When we got home and I was unstrapping her, she said again "I sitting on my poop!"
It was lunch time when we got home. Naptime comes right after lunch! I bought stuff that she can help make stuffed cheese manacotti tonight for supper!
All in all, I think Julia is having a fun day. I am trying to enjoy these days while I can because soon the baby will be here.
