A Fun Day!

Caelan and I had a good day today! We had a healthy breakfast of Irish Oatmeal and yogurt then bananas, of course. He faught off the morning nap but was still in semi-good spirits. We had a fun playgroup with our friends from the South Arlington Mom's group. Caelan loves playing with the kids and Mr. Magellan loves exploring around our host's home. While he was playing, he decided he wanted to stand, by HIMSELF! While standing there he had the proudest smile on his face. He knew it was a magical moment. He stood there for the longest time I've seen yet. (I was verklempt) We came home for a quick lunch then off to dreamland for a 3 hour nap! (Yipee) I was able to sqeeze one in myself. After the nap we adventured out to Del Ray, a cute little neighborhood by us. We took a break at a fun coffeeshop called St. Elmos. We sat outside sharing a muffin and talking about all the doggies and birds we saw. When we got home the wrestling match was on...Caelan and I chased each other around and under the table, through the toys, over the river and through the woods.....until he worked up a fabulous appetite. He ate an entire fillet of Orange Ruffy, 1/4 sweet potato and a bowl of Gerber oatmeal. Whew, if eats like this now.....
He was getting tuckered out, but we squeezed in a bath, a story, prayers and a song before his peepers gently closed. Mmmmmm.


Today put a smile on my face.
