Last night we went to the Laundromat.  I haven't been to a Laundromat in years!  The last time was with my roommate back in my single days when we got bed bugs....but I can't talk about that or I start to itch.  It was not a good time in my life!!
Well, Zion fell asleep in one of the little laundry carts on wheels...I don't know what you call them...but I had Ish take this picture:
If I want a good picture, I have to ask Ish to take it because for some reason I can not, for the life of me, take a decent picture.  Seriously!!  I really appreciate a good photographer because, I don't know what it is, but I just can never get it to look right.  
Well, I wanted this picture, because it's moments like this one when I look at him and want to remember this day forever.  Not that anything special happened...just a normal day. But He is growing up so fast. It makes me sad to think that he is a little boy now instead of a baby.  
Notice his Buzz Lightyear in the corner.  My friend gave that to him earlier in the day, and Buzz is now his new best friend.  Buzz went everywhere with him yesterday. He even fed Buzz snacks and juice. So precious. And as he was sleeping in this basket, obviously exhausted from a long hard day with Buzz, I just wished for a minute that he could stay this way forever. And I remembered that no matter how uneventful our days are, they are still so precious.  
Ish is getting ready to go to Haiti for a week to help with a soccer camp for kids.  He is very excited.  I'm a little nervous...but I know he will be fine.  When he is gone, I'm going to spend my week spring cleaning, organizing, and finishing my list of about 50 sewing and decorating projects. I'm a little ambitious.  We shall see how many of those projects actually happen.  But I'm going to do my best.  If I end up creating anything neat, I'll blog it.
That is all for today.  I'm going to go enjoy my ordinary, non-eventful day with my big almost-2-year-old.
 
Today, I plan to have a productive day. But...lately I've had to redefine "productive".  It's not as easy as it used to be to get things done around my house now that I have a little boy who wants cuddle time, and the same book read 8 times in a row, and who follows behind me leaving a path of destruction.  So I used to get slightly depressed when a whole day went by and I looked at my house and it looked the same as when I woke up that morning.  Today I woke up and decided that the cleanliness of my house is not worth missing a day of books and walks and making messes with Zion.  So we will see what I end up doing...but it will be productive!! 
And...if you want a great blog to read, check out my friend's blog here. (Well, she was my sister's friend before she became mine, but my sister picks really good friends and sometimes I want her friends to be my friends too).  She's a mom...the kind I hope I can be once I relax a little....and she is hilarious.  
Who could resist spending a day kissing this face?
Praying you all have a "productive" day today!
