I feel like there is always so much to get done as a homemaker/wife/mom. Between Resident Council duties, cleaning, cooking, service to ward members and church callings...sometimes it feels like there isn't enough time to just be with, and teach Tanner.
I love the time I get to just be mom and BE THERE for Tanner. I love taking him places and letting him experience things. To see him light up about some new and exciting thing that we get to go do brings so much joy to my heart. It honestly feels like a breath of fresh air as we change from our daily routine and chores.
I had planned a play date with Trina and her boys at the pool. That morning Trina informed me that McDonald's had a free breakfast for kids from 6am-9am. Since we were going to go to the pool at 9:30am I figured we would really make a day out of it and hit McDonald's for breakfast beforehand.
It was great! Tanner was in love with his breakfast and pretty much ate everything. He was all smiles. Then we hit the pool and met up with his cousins, which he thought was the coolest thing ever. When we got to the pool tanner started clapping his hands saying "YAY!" It totally melted my heart to see him so happy. We really had a great time. When we were done swimming we hit the park near the pool and then had lunch at our apartment with Trina and the boys. Thanks for the fun times Trina!
I should mention that as I was putting Tanner into his car seat I told him we were going to go home for lunch. He told me that he wanted McDonalds. Totally on his own...hahaha.
I guess after eating there for breakfast he thinks we can go there whenever he wants. We didn't, and had mac and cheese at home instead, but it was really cute to hear him come up with his own idea of what we should do for lunch. Then as we drove away he exclaimed, "Pool fun!" It made me so happy to see him enjoying himself. Sure do love him!
