No Fear

Saturday we (Bailey, my mother and me) drove in the rain to Stover, Mo. for their annual quilt show. By the time we arrived and pulled into the parking lot of the local community center there in Stover, the clouds parted and the sun started to shine directly onto the playground set located right next door to the show. Now normally Bailey is quite the good little shopper and enjoys hunting for fabrics with her Me-Me when attending shows and stores but this was no ordinary playground, it had THREE really big slides. So naturally the second we stepped into the building I heard "Can I go to the playground?", "One more booth and then I go to playground?" and "Is Me-Me done yet? Is she done now?". So I quickly looked through stuff and left Me-Me to continue to shop while Bailey got some much needed slide time in.

Up the playground set, down the slide. Repeat steps till grandma comes out.

Not much happening....

A pretty quiet week and weekend happened around here. I wanted to spend some time outside cleaning up flower beds but the rain and cold temperature pretty much kept us both inside. Some unexpected freelance came my way which kept me busy all weekend. For our anniversary, James and I decided to have the weekend to ourselves thanks to my parents who watched the child for us. No big plans, just used the time to have dinners out and watching movies at home. We will have more to blog about next weekend when we take Bailey to go see Disney on ice.

Last Tuesday we forgot to take something out for dinner so we headed off to one of Bailey's favorite places to eat, Chic-Fli-A. We soon discovered it was Family Night and got to see the cow mascot come out. Bailey wanted nothing to do with the cow even with James going up there with her. I soon discovered she hadn't napped that day and was getting quite grumpy, so we ended up leaving with some free ice cream cards to use at a later date. Here's a picture of James using his new skills from his current class, Conflict Management & Negotiations. Sometimes dealing with a toddler is like doing hostage negotiations & labor bargaining at the same time.
