The Daily Hailey

Brady and I had planned to get some grocery shopping done yesterday. When his two hours of work turned into eight, the plan was nixed. However, as the day went on, the shopping list grew bigger and bigger, a little too big to do on my own. He got home around 5:00 with Subway and we watched a bit of Lost while Dekker slept. When Dekker awoke, we decided to head to the city even though it was late. We got on the road at 7:30. Dekker is usually in bed at 8:30. But he was a total champ, and by far the cutest road trip buddy EVER!

We filled up the car before we drove to Superstore and grocery shopped a decent sized cart full of groceries. He was relaxed and charming the entire time. From there, we hit Walmart for a few things. Brady decided to carry Dekker, as it was just a quick trip. As usual, our “few things” list grew and I ended up carrying Deks while Brady lugged our stuff. My son, he’s heavy! As in, I was sweating bullets by the time we left!

We listened to the new Tyler Ward album on the drive home. Deks was pretty zoned, but awake the entire time. Not like him. It was amazing that he wasn’t fussing.

When we finally got him in bed, it was after 10:30pm. He was pretty tired at that point, so he cried a little when we put him down, but he was out right away. Sometimes I’m amazed at how well he goes to sleep. Correction: I am always amazed at how well he goes to sleep. What did I do to deserve this kind of baby? We had very few specific methods we followed, or rules we made. He just fell into his own routine. People, if I knew what it was, I’d sell it in bottles and be rich.

Then this morning, he woke up after 10, ready to play. He is at his best in the mornings. We had breakfast and went downstairs to play. Often, playing conists of me building towers for him and then crocheting/facebooking when he wanders off to do his own thing. It didn’t really play out like that today. I built him a tower to entice him to the toys, and plopped myself down to crochet. He stood at the couch in front of me and watched. Unmoving. For longer than you would expect! It was strange, haha! I started to feel self-conscious! I appreciated the interest, buuut…

If my son ever learns to crochet, that will just be the hilarious cherry on top 😀
