The other day Cutie Pie and Hubby went to the store and I found myself alone with Sweet Pea…at home…and he was awake! This never happens! When I have him by himself we are usually going somewhere, so this was a special day!
After the guys left I asked Sweet Pea what he wanted to do, expecting him to say “play trains”. We ended up outside at his request, again something that never happens with him. It was so fun playing in the muddy yard with him. He swung for a really long time – both on the baby swing, and on the ‘big boy’ swing! What a change from last year! He was even trying to pump to get going on his own!
Now when I ask what he’d like to do (when Cutie Pie is busy trying to get his coat on) he either says “swing” or “play trains” in that order! What a nice change…..most of my jeans have holes in the knees!

We love swinging, Immy always insists that I swing alongside her at the park. I am sure the time together is extra special 🙂
