Afterwards, we went to this little playground they have at the end of the shopping center where the theater is. I didn't know they had a little water shooter thing, but I wasn't worried. I mean, I paid $2 (another $2 wasted!) a few weeks ago for TJ to go play at a big, awesome water park, and he would have no part in it. Knowing this, I said, "TJ, you can get in the water if you want to." Yeah, another lesson learned. He got DRENCHED! He had so much fun, and it was all I could do to get him out of it to go home! I thought I was prepared, b/c I had an extra little romper in his bag, which has been there for months now just waiting for its chance to get used. Yeah, found out that TJ actually has grown, and boy did he look silly in his little dress! He was about two inches longer than the romper, so I couldn't button it at the bottom! Fun stuff! He had SO much fun, though, and notice the big swelled diaper sticking out of his too heavy jean shorts that were falling down!
Later, I was invited to go to the Faith Circle meeting at Two Peas in a Pot for my church. I was psyched, b/c I would get to be with other adults, and not b/c of children! So, for the first time ever, I hired a babysitter to come to our house! Thanks again to Gina, who recommended S, who babysits for them. He was awesome! I was nervous that TJ would misbehave (why, I don't know), so I think in the process of telling him about TJ, I tried to prepare him for every bad thing TJ could or would do. When I got home, S said, "Man, you made me think he was going to be some bad kid. He was great!" Oh, he totally made my day! TJ loved him! I knew he would though, b/c I had to feed the baby before I left, and by the time I did, TJ was like, "Yeah, bye," when I went to leave. Ummm, I suppose that's a good thing, sniffle sniffle...
Oh, and I had tons of fun at the Faith Circle meeting, too. I made a coffee cup that says "TJ and Taryn's MOMMY". Yes, it's lame, but I never claimed to have any artistic or creative talent whatsoever. However, I was only one of two people that didn't make a plate that had a pineapple or a palmetto tree on it. Those are so in now, I guess. So at least mine was unique...Yet another first, going to the meeting, that is...Hope they don't mind me showing them off...
Anyway, that was quite long. You can see why I was totally pooped last night when I finally hit the sack! So, today we're doing...NOTHING! Well, aside from washing clothes and the like! I hope you have an exciting day full of lots of firsts, and I'll talk to you later.
and the best thing was i got to love on and hold taryn....till she got hungry, and i quickly gave her back to christi :) lol. she smelled so good and babyish. it was fun!!
