Playtime at Daddy's Work

Nothing really planned for today so Declan and I decided we'd visit Daddy's work. Got to chapters at 10:30am. Declan held my hand as we walked through the parking lot and inside. We ran into daddy almost as soon as we got there. As happy as he was to see Daddy he was more excited to see a nice big play area and toys that are not the usual ones at home. He was drawn to the train table. I just can't believe this same kid was crawling around the store last time we visited, now he's a little boy playing with trains. Unreal.

Some of Daddy's coworkers came over to see him but Declan barely noticed as he kept playing. At one point he noticed a big ball so he switched his attention to it for a bit. Long enough that it rolled down the four big wide steps and then Declan followed after it. He just walks straight down them like he knows how but he DOESN'T so he falls forward, right to his tummy. Luckily he puts his hands out in front of him this time. No tears at all. 

And back to the trains.

He's such a big boy now that when he noticed a speed racer he wanted to try it.

Declan couldn't figure out how to move forward but backwards he got easily. I pushed around for a bit which he enjoyed.

Spent an hour playing at daddy's work then we were off. Declan needed lunch and then to get home for his nap.

Two solid hours - deep sleep.

This evening was dancing and tickles, bath time and playing with plastic balls, we watched some of the Sesame Street Christmas show with Elmo and I got in some cuddles too. Oh and our little helper was putting groceries away today.

Seriously. How did he get so big?
