MoMMy aNd Me

Saturday's are "mommy and me" days since Tony is usually working. It's nice because I don't get a whole lot of time with Quinn being a working mom and all. Today I went for a short trip to wawa for coffee and ended up having a two hour picnic with Quinn at the playground. I have a secret park that I love to go to with him because nobody knows about it. Occasionally some of the neighbors in the area are there but not often so we can take our shoes off and have run of the place. It's not a big place and just has a few swings and slides, more like a person's backyard really, but it's just enough for a two year old. I just happened to have a red blanket in the car and bought lunch at wawa. After a quiet lunch, we walked through the wooded area and learned "tree", "leaf", "butterfly", "stick" and "bird" . Tree was his favorite, they had freshly planted small trees there, Quinn was trying to pull them out of the ground. When I said "be nice" and pet the tree to show him that they were alive and needed to be treated gently he looked at me like I was absolutely crazy then proceeded to hug and pet the tree like it was our cat. It's amazing to me how accepting kids are even when his little mind tells him that there is no way this thing is alive, I mean where is the fur "duhhh mom". I do wish that I had another child for Quinn to play with on these days... he's such a social kid. All though he appreciated my effort of playing swords with a few sticks I think he'd love some other kids being around that he knows and likes. I'm giving some serious thought to the "big sister" program.

Ok well, boring blog - just my thoughts.

what with the story?....well I blame that on the two times I fell down the stairs as a kid...but i think we've covered that before
As for it being an accident...i could've very well simply hit myself sub-consciously in a sad attempt to leave early....but local sources say that wasn't the case at all.....I'll keep you posted ;)
