Yesterday, I picked Mitchell up early to take him to get his annual flu shot. The only time they had available was 2:30pm, which I knew might be trouble for his nap schedule. When I picked him up at 2pm, he was the only kiddo awake. They always tell me that he sleeps less than the other kids. He was so excited to see me at such an unexpected time!
As I buckled him into the car, I explained to him that we were going to the doctor. He said "Not sick. Mitchell not sick." Wow - he processes so much more than I give him credit for! He was a trooper for the shot - no tears. In his own words, hHe was excited to get a "blue sucker" as his good boy prize from the doctor.
We headed to Home Depot after the doc. Have you seen the Christmas display??? Mitchell was AMAZED! He LOVED all of the blow up charcters on display. We probably spent a half an hour in that section (and didn't buy a thing!). His favorite was the inflatable airplane with moving propellers and Santa Claus inside. In fact, when Jacob got back in town last night Mitchell tried to tell him all about it. He got so excited that he said "Get up, Mommy. Go Home Depot." Sorry, Mitchell - bed time :(
We also spent some time in book heaven at the local library and the little park next door.
Oh, what a fun afternoon. We were both worn out by bedtime!
