Big Day

This was a day I had been dreading. I took Haydn to the dentist to get two shallow fillings. I am so relieved (as is he)! He was so amazing! We were out of there in 20 minutes flat and ready to go on a celebration outing together. We had so much fun - it has been a long time since I've taken Haydn on an outing by myself - I have a renewed understanding of his current perspective and just how much fun he is to hang out with. We went to Redmond Town Center and gave a wave to Santa, made a few trips up and down the escalator, stopped by a pizza joint for lunch (and a treat - yes, we brushed good after that!), and cuddled up at the bookstore to read books together.

Naomi was hanging out at Grandma Bobbi's house all this time - when we arrived there, Haydn was delighted to show off his pearly whites and brag about his bravery. The kids had some good cousin play and quiet (or not so quiet) time before heading home. Naomi can't get enough of that baby Kyle's soft bald head! She doesn't understand why she can't carry him around with her like she does with her baby doll (who she has named baby Kyle, fyi). All in all, a very successful day. Exhausting, but great. What a relief!
