Hayes and I ran errands today. I will admit that I dread going to a bunch of different places and having to get Hayes in an out of his carseat. Once or twice he's good with but after a few times it turns into a wrestling match. This time I decided I was going to stay positive and not care how long it took us to get everything done.
The first stop was Dillards. I had to try on a few things so I figured I would do that first before he was tired. I guess that was a bad idea because he kept running away. He ran down between some clothes racks but I could still see him. I started to go after him and then I couldn't see him anywhere. So I ran between a few racks and tried to find him. He wasn't anywhere. A sales lady saw me and she started looking. He wasn't anywhere in the whole section. So I was trying not to panic but Hayes is pretty independent so I didn't expect him to start crying or anything. I started to go into another section,(calling out his name even though I knew that probably would just encourage him to run more) hoping that is where he went he wasn't there. Luckily another sales lady came walking to me, holding a smiling Hayes. He had run to the shoe section! Shoes...he has an obsession with shoes! I guess I should have thought of that! I'm just glad he wasn't lost for long!
The next store the stroller came out.
The rest of the day actually went very well. He was happy at the library, the grocery store and we ate lunch at burger king and he just watched all the trucks drive by and waved to people as they left. I think he's finally getting to the age where I won't dread taking him to the store......and pretty soon I'll have a baby girl to get used to taking along too. I don't know how all of you that have more than one kid lives through going to the store with them in tow, but I guess I'm going to find out!

I'm so excited you have a blog!!! I can totally relate with that experience. I remember right before Nixon was due, Cohen was his worst, but suddently it was gone once Nixon was born. It was like he knew he had to grow up. Good luck with future errands. It does get easier, although I still feel like the entire time I am yelling, "Cohen! Come here!"
Aw the errands. It does get easier.....in a couple of years. ;)
Welcome to the blog world!
I am glad that you have your blog going. Can't wait to see more pictures!
Blogs are the best thing to come along for Grandparents! I love getting to see the photos and read about your day to day activities. Every time someone has a new posting, it is just like a package in the mail!
Love you,

This may be the first comment I left on a blog -- perhaps earlier with one of Mike's effort on the internet.
I love the pictures and your writing. Please send me each entry. My only suggestion (and one you can't fix) is to let the wonderful music keep playing when I leave my comment.
Love,
Dad
