Every day we go to our mall's indoor play area. I don't think Everest minds the cold but mom does. Well he is onto our routine. Get up at 7 AM, crawl into mom's side of the bed (deny you have to pee), decide after a few minutes that indeed you do have to neyo neyo. Go neyo neyo. Crawl back into bed. Tickle Babba to "wake" him up. Babba does not want to get up. Momma wants Babba to get up. Decide you are hungry and want to "Trufa." Discover that Trix cereal is quite delicious. Eat not one, not two but three bowls. Momma is not sure when to stop you because sometimes you eat and sometimes you don't. She lets it slide today. Hang out for awhile. Struggle to get changed from pajamas into clothes for the day. Crap, we forgot to brush the teeth again before clothes are changed. Oh well another day with toothpaste down the front of you. You win some you lose some. Off to Starbucks. You really like the organic chocolate milk. Momma's dwindling dollars do not. You drink the thing in two seconds flat. Not worth the $$. The Starbucks guy knows us. It's good to be a regular. But alas no discount on chocolate milk. Off to the indoor play area. I think Ev is tiring of this but the indoor play area is near Santa and Ev does not tire of Santa. LOOOOVES Santa. We are also regulars on Santa's lap. Both Santas that work at the mall know Ev. Ev takes a candy cane each time he sits on Santa's lap (without paying for pictures). Ev does not like candy canes. He remembers this after he opens and takes a bite and then says, "Icky." This is our morning routine. Lunch generally consists of meeting someone. Need some adult contact. After that we are again on our own. How do I do this? How do I keep entertaining? He has to be getting sick of seeing my face right? Or is being a mommy enough?
Today we went into work. I had a class meeting for school. He was incredible. Did not misbehave at all and he was there for two hours. In fact, he did not misbehave at all the entire day. I think we are both getting into the swing of things. He is such a little character. I look at him and I am amazed by his beauty. He is simply amazing inside and out. His smile makes others smile and his giggles make others giggle. Today in the play area there was a little boy who was 18 months old. He went up to Everest and Everest gave him a hug because the little boy was coming in for one whether Ev liked it or not. Two minutes later Ev went up to the little boy and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He also helped the little guy take off his jacket and shoes because that's what Momma said the rules of the play area are. Too bad the little boy just put on his shoes and coat to leave. So cute. Both moms were laughing.

Routine is a good thing : ) I'm so happy; sounds like you guys are doing great. And I hear the toothpaste down the front of the shirt. We had this going on 'til one of ours was about 9. Won't say which one. But he's 11 now.
