A Good Day.

Kei was gone all day on Saturday for a training course so Thomas and I had a chance to spend the day together. He was in a great mood and we had a fantastic time together. We started at the optometrist where Thomas amused himself for a whole hour while I had my eyes tested. He started by checking out the contents of his backpack ( a few books, toys etc. that we chose before we left the house) and then he moved on to “arranging” all the magazines.

Next up – coffee (for me) and a muffin (for him) at Peet’s. We just sat and shared the muffin while we enjoyed each others’ company. Then it was on to the mall where we made it just in time for story hour at Barnes & Noble. They read this great kids book that we ended up buying on the way out.

Ran a few more errands – Clinique gift time at Macys, some stuff for Mum’s impending visit and some new shoes for Thomas (pictured above). Then it was home for a well deserved nap (for both of us).

The best part – I felt completely in the moment. I really miss our Wednesday’s together so it was wonderful to make the most of this opportunity to spend some time with my boy. I realize time with just the two of us is going to be harder and harder to find in just a few weeks so I am cherishing these moments while we have them.

Oh, and the cutest comment of the day? Thomas was sitting in his stroller with his hand on his face. I asked him if he was tired and he looked at me and said “No. I’m just thinking”. Sometimes I can’t believe he has only been on this planet for 2 and a half years.
