Enjoy the moment

Two posts in one day??? Yes. It is once again nap time which is prime time to write a blog post. Sadly Tidus is not napping. I am attempting to let him cry it out and he is giving me a run for my money. :( I started the dishwasher and the laundry to soften the sound of his screams so he does not wake up Ted. Poor baby! Tyler is my support as I listen to Tidus cry and question every decision I have ever made. 

Earlier today we did one of my all time favorite activities.... GO FOR A WALK :) I was able to get the whole crew (minus Ruby) to walk all over town. We took all of Ted's piggy bank to the grocery store to cash in his pennies. He made quite a stealing for a two year old not that he cares. He prefers to play with his coins putting them in the piggy bank and then dumping them out over and over. But it was over flowing. 

We then walked to the library. There is a great walking trail on the way. We stopped at this bench and literally watched this bird for 10 minutes. I think it is an egret. It would slowly pull one leg up out of the water and then the next. It would freeze staring hard at the water and then SNATCH a bug right up. 

I pretended to take a picture of Tyler while these dogs walk by. Look at their adorable ears!! Tyler thinks they are dyed. I did not think so because the red fur blends into the white fur.Tyler says, you can blend dyed hair into non dyed hair. 

 Steps up to the library. I love the library here. It is huge and has a great kids section. Ted played a game on one of the computers with Tyler while I picked out some books. When it was time to go I told Ted to pick out a book to bring home. He walked around for a bit and then very assertively walked up to a shelf and pulled out a book. It just happened to be Daniel Tiger. Did he have some sort of sixth sense about that book???

 Walking/running to our next destination, the park! What day would be complete without a trip to the park? There are so many around here to choose from.

 Oh Tidus, you are so happy in this picture and so angry right now...

It was so much fun getting to walk around on this cool and sunny winter day. There are so many people posting videos on Facebook about how we need to enjoy the moment (hey didn't I read that somewhere?). I just saw one that showed a baby girl growing up to be a teenager and it had some ominous warning about making each day count with our children.

Well future Whitney, I just want you to know that you did enjoy this time! If you ever look back on your life and wonder if you truly appreciated what you had when you had it then I will set your mind at ease. You LOVE your children. You LOVE your husband. You spend time with them everyday and you all have fun together. Don't regret your time with young kids because when you lived it you had a blast. Now I am going to go check on my screaming baby and give him a snuggle.
