Tuesdays in the park with W
First it was the peppermint ice cream and now it is another day below 90. Why it is practically winter down here! Seriously- it is fucking awesome outside right now. It’s kind of, sort of, almost, maybe pleasant. And if you stand in the shade of a palm tree it is cool. No joke. Check out my current temperature:
The weather started to turn after lunch yesterday. I had spent the morning at the nursing home trying to engage GM. She was in the day room and in an aggressive mood. It felt weird to be there without W, but until he is clear of white spots (& he IS getting better) I don’t want to bring him. It kind of blew the minds of several residents as they know me as the lady with the baby. I got a lot of, “who are you???” questions from the more vocal residents and I had to wonder if GM was thinking the same thing as she looked at me with a scowl.
Probably not. I imagine she was still worn out from her Monday which involved a pretty serious choking incident. Fucking congestive heart failure. Fucking pneumonia. Motherfucking Alzheimer’s! Where is the calm?
But I started this post with the weather…which allows me to tell you about W’s first encounter with a park and a swing that didn’t have fisher price labels on it. There is a pretty nice park in my neighborhood. It has a baseball diamond, a soccer field, two basketball courts, and playgrounds for big kids, little kids, and handicapped kids. Nice, right? Except when it is 100 degrees.
The swing wasn’t quite age appropriate for W just yet- I think they are more for toddlers, but he seemed game for a little fun so in he went. I kept my hand on him at all times but by gentle push number 8 he was drifting away with thoughts of sleep.
SO friggin cute. And LOVING the cooler weather too. Sleeping SO much better. Though ours didn’t turn ’til the middle of the night. it was HOT yesterday. You must have hogged it all. haha
he looks so laid back and relaxed! how adorable!
I LOVE binky baby pictures. Soo cute.
Cuuuuute!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
That pose is so completely awesome. So manly, in a weird way. Like it’s Sunday afternoon and he’s just had a beer and now it’s time for a snooze. If that’s not too weird to say about a baby…
Hahahahah…. I love Annacyclopedia’s comment!! He is just too cute! Love you! And by the way… I didn’t expect that you would read my blog. I hope it wasn’t too much. I wrote it more for myself, I haven’t talked about any of it, and apparently it needed to come out. I love you and am wishing you continued cool weather and peace in your heart.
A swing baby, A was a swing baby, and still loves to swing.
So sorry to hear about your Grandma, I can’t imagine having to continue to see her this way and hear bad news over and over again.
Hugs.
lol He seems underwhelmed.
It has been really nice weather here in the South. I’ve been outside more in 2 days than I was for the last month.
Could he LOOK any more chill?
Oh my good lord, that is awesome. AWE. SOME.
Whoa, that is one cute, chillaxin baby!
He looks soooo relaxed. It cooling down here in Cairo too, but not until after sunset. I know F all bad things health related there is no calm. Always always always keeping GM in my thoughts. I may had told you before, but your close relationship with GM reminds me of mine with my Grand (passed away in 2000). My dad and I took care of her at home for 7 years while she was bedridden. She was in and out of care facilities, and died in hospice the day after she went in.
Sorry about my grammar above, i just read it and sounds like I can’t talk, sorry.
I KNOW! It was cool here today too! I mean, like in the 80s! I was so excited.
I hope W is able to transfer some of that swing Zen to you.
Those are adorable pictures!!! Did you not want to just eat him up, fantastic that you had the camera for this!
omg you should enter the 1st pic in the cutest baby contest!!! he is sooo adorable.
much hugs!
Love the W pics. He is loving life (in a mellow, laid back way).
so cute! and, just so you know, thanks to you, i went to publix last night after the girls were down to get peppermint ice cream only to find that they didn’t have it. they only had the hot cocoa which sounded like chocolate ice cream with marshmallows which wasn’t overally exciting. so, instead, i came home with edy’s girl scout samoa AND ben and jerry’s americone. nice!!!
OOOOOH the cuteness!!!
Thanks for visiting my blog! Your little guy is SO cute! One of my best friends is single and looking to get pregnant. She doesn’t get her period so she is now starting to meet with doctors. I know she will LOVE this blog!
