Wednesday Favorites

Today was an absolute blast- it was a normal Wednesday- but a fun one. Parker and I ran to Baby's R Us to pick up a few items- since we had some spare time we walked over to Toys R Us to go play with fun toys that we can't afford to buy. Oh my goodness! We had so much fun! First, I handed Parker a foam sword...he loved it- and every time he hit me with it- I pretended to get hurt and he just laughed and laughed! We then went down the "huge stuffed animal" isle. Every stuffed animal I picked up and playfully showed to Parker he got this overly excited look on his face! I could do this for hours! Let's just say- I am enjoying the stage where I can take Parker to a toy store- play with the toys- then put them back and still have a happy child! ha! :)
Next...on to the chiropractor, HEB, the bank and home! Once we got home...the fun really started. After Parker ate a big snack we went into his play room to play...as he was crawling into the foyer to go chase his dump truck he caught a glimpse of Nika...the boxer dog. We then had to proceed into the living room to play with Nika and Abby (my little shitzu dog). Parker would crawl over to Nika and she would turn and look at him and begin coming over to him and he would squeal and quickly start crawling frantically (while laughing) towards me! Then Abby would come over and he would start yelling and laughing at Abby! Then the dogs would start rough housing and Parker would just LAUGH AND LAUGH! He is also walking REALLY well now and he would walk over to me and over to the dogs with the biggest cheesiest most wonderful heart melting smile on his face! We did this for about 30 minutes and I must say....that was 30 minutes of Heaven!
Now- off to bath-time! Now, we all know that I love bath time- so this was a typical precious time- however, at the end of the bath- Parker was standing up holding on to the side of the tub while I am sitting on the floor, leaning on the side of the tub and we are facing each other...Parker points and me, then tries to stick his hands in my mouth to grab my teeth....I closed my mouth over his hands and then blew my cheeks up really big and pretended to spit his hands out...we did this over and over while Parker was laughing so hard he got the hiccups.

Now- my little love is in bed- and as I type this wonderful memory of today- my heart is overflowing. Thank you God- for my little piece of Heaven on this Earth- thank you that he is healthy and with us- it is only because of you, Father- that anything good is in my life.
