An eventful day

So, today was Mason's first visit to a park. A nearby housing subdivision has a baby playground with infant swings, so we decided it would be fun to see how he does. He really liked the whole event. The swing was still a little too big for him (he looked more like a baby doll in a basket), but he still laughed as the swing whooshed back and forth. We also rode with him down a slide and crawled into the tunnel. Although he won't remember it and didn't really enjoy it to the fullest extent, I think it set the pathway for many park visits to come. A smile comes over my face whenever I imagine him as a toddler, running around on the playground, pretending to be a pirate on the bridge or Superman on the slide or a cowboy on the horse.

Later today, my husband and I went on a little date to celebrate my birthday early, since we both have to work Monday. We saw "War of the Worlds" (very intense but good. That Dakota Fanning is an amazing little child actress, isn't she?) and went to dinner. It was nice to get out as adults. We don't go to the movies much at all anymore, so that was a treat. Most of our movies these days are from our living room, interrupted 5 or 6 times for bottle feedings, diaper changes, baths, relocating Mason to a more entertaining part of the cramped living room, etc. A two hour movie turns into three or four. So, watching a movie in a theater is kinda nice. Seeing consecutive scenes is quite an extravagant event around here.

Anyways, that was my day. Had a pleasant morning with our baby and a nice evening with that man that I sleep next to but hardly spend one on one time with. Hasta la vista.
