An hour of freedom for Mommy

Today I had a pedicure appointment at Becoming Mom spa. This is the second to last month of the membership package that John got for me for our anniversary last fall. Since I cannot yet drive, John and Charlie dropped me off for my one hour of "me time."

While I was enjoying my relaxation, John took Charlie to Best Buy. Apparently the folks there are not used to daddies shopping with babies in strollers. Lots of people asked him if he needed any help! But it was a successful outing-- John picked out a video game to buy with his birthday money from my Grandma Knepper.

After picking me up from my appointment, we took Charlie with us to the mall so we could exchange a pair of pants we got as a gift which were the wrong size. We ate at the food court and also went to the Apple Store (of course!) Charlie did really well through all of this, even though he missed a feeding time. We tried to feed him at the food court (with some milk I had pumped before we left the house), but he wouldn't have it. I think it was just too noisy in there-- he fed fine as soon as we got home.

Tomorrow we have friends coming over for our annual Memorial Day Weekend grillout. It will be one of the first times any of our friends see Charlie (Beth is the only one to have met him so far). John and Beth also plan a small performance of the new Entertaining Lucy band (minus Eric). It should be fun.
