JoS A Bank

so life is sorta getting normal again. i can't say BACK to normal b/c it's a new normal. but we're sorta getting into a routine. and im sorta ok. some days are better than others. The Boobah has been on fire these last few days. busting out words...well words are a relative term but they're her words.

MA!

DA!

and then she points at EVERYTHING and wants me to tell her what it is. sometimes she'll point and say AYA? i think she's saying...what's that? or some form of it.

we went to Joseph A Bank today. a fine mens clothing store to spend my husband's gift card that his parents gave him for christmas. he AMAZES me. i can't hold onto a gift card for more than a day. he's got it in his pocket for 4+ months.

but i digress...

so we go...she's wearing khaki pants, a pink tshirt and her new kelly green and white striped, seersucker blazer. (kill me now she's so cute) she's in the stroller and The Boy is in the Bjorn. we walked in and they were having a big sale so there were giant helium balloons all over the place.

red, yellow and white with corresponding ribbons.

oh...and cookies.

so we walk in and her eyes got wide with excitement and the salesmen got a little nervous at the sight of my "gang" as they called us walking in. i assured them that they were both well contained and that if The Boy felt like projectiling he'd be doing it down my shirt for he sits in the Bjorn facing me. Boobah was strapped in and i kept her farther than arms distance away from the fine clothing so the delicious sticky fingers wouldn't leave their mark.

the salesmen were really nice to me after that =)

so i proceed to get my hubby a GORGEOUS pair of black, flat front, light weight, garbardine trouser - left with Michael the Tailor until next week. Boobah picked out 2 polos - eggplant and tangerine in color. and i found 2 short sleeve, button down, silk (not the girly kind of silk), ivory and medium blue dressy/casual shirts.

we did well.

so did i mention there were balloons and cookies.

so besides the gorgeous clothes that we left with...Boobah was wheeled out of there with a giant red helium balloon on one arm and a shortbread cookie in the other.

she was in heaven.

then we came home - had lunch - black beans, cous cous, chicken, strawberries, yogurt, yogurt covered raisins and goldfish pretzels. oh juice AND chocolate milk.

played on the deck and shes been napping since 2...it's now 335. he's been napping for 30 minutes on the chair downstairs on his belly.

last night he slept from 8-12:40am, 1-4:40am, 5-7am. could i ask for better???? NO!

so now im waiting for her to wake so we can go to playgroup. hopefully she won't sleep through it!!

so like i said...we're figuring out what our new 'normal' is. i miss being able to do more around the house...but i think that will come. i still feel super anxious a lot of the time. i have my drs appt on thursday so i may talk to her about it.

but...today is good.

tomorrow we're going to the outlets to walk around with my friend Erica.
thursday we have Jenny the Babysitter and I'm going to the dr.
friday we're going to my cousin Jodi's.

stayin' busy...that's my motto.
