Guitars, Drum Sticks & Best Buy

June 9, 2009 10:22 pm

Last weekend, Ro & I had a full day to ourselves while mom belatedly enjoyed her Mother’s Day gift at the Lake Austin Spa. We made a full day of it, hitting the trail with Sadie, getting a balloon at Zilker park, feeding the ducks in Travis Country and going for a swim. We also enjoyed one of our favorite outings - a trip to the music store in Best Buy.

This whole set up is genius, at least until he’s old enough to either break something (could happen now) or ask me to buy something.  Just like your typical music store, but they don’t seem to care that there are kids running around everywhere bashing away on the instruments.  I’ve seen fewer kids in the day care at Lifetime Fitness.  We’ve been a few times, and now every time we get anywhere near Best Buy we hear “guitar” and “drum sticks” in a soft, eager voice from the backseat.  We’ll see you there on Saturday!

This is from last month, but I just had to post it. I have no clue what he said to me at the end. (love the best supporting actress)

It’s Potty Time! (almost)

BIG NEWS today!!!!  Rowan pooped in the potty!!!  Ok, let me back-up and say it was totally a novelty thing since we just bought the potty for him.  We heard it was a good idea to put out a little potty and to try it before bath time to start introducing the idea.  Of course he was soooo excited about it because we bought with Avery and Taylor.  Last night he climbed on it and he did not go, but then got in the bathtub and immediately peed.  So this afternoon when we got home from school he said “potty” so we went upstairs and to my surprise he pooped!  It has not happened since, but still, that is exciting for any parent.

Other big news is that I will be inducted into the Salpointe Sports Hall of Fame this coming Fall.  It is the first year that anyone from my class could be inducted, so I am very honored to be one of them.  Tucson, here we come!

Check out my little gymnast who loves to use the side table and widow sill as parallel bars.  He is so strong!
