Day 56: How Does Your Garden Grow?

I had an eight mile run this morning, so I had to leave the house before Little Buddy woke up.  I hate that.  I hate not starting my day off with that laugh and smile.  I know it sounds silly, but seeing him smile at me in the morning just makes me happy all day.  The only thing that made up for missing it today was when he saw me at swim class and immediately called out "Mama!", smiled, and blew me a kiss.  I honestly live for little moments like that.

We had a quick little outing to get him some new clothes at Gymboree.  He did manage to run out of the store and to the Germ Tree, so we gave him a couple minutes to show Daddy how well he slides down the slide before we headed home.

True to his new nap schedule, Little Buddy passed out on the way home.  He gave my husband and I two whole baby-free hours again to work!  We are both excited and nervous about this new schedule.  Excited because we've been able to get so much done, nervous because we don't want to get use to it in case it disappears as quickly as it came.

After dinner, which included the return of the yogurt goatee monster, we all went outside to plant our garden!  Little Buddy and I are going to get busy growing this spring!

"I get to plant a garden?!?!"

Little Buddy just wants to water everything!

"Hurry up and plant, Mommy!  The plants need water!"

"Is it my turn yet, Mommy?"

Our garden!

Night everyone,
