After yesterday's super fun adventure, I thought today's mission would be a piece of cake: get Kyle's announcements in the mail. How hard could it be to address 60 envelopes, stamp our return address on each, drive to the post office, buy stamps, place stamps on envelopes and drop them in the mail?
Ha, ha, ha! Turns out Kyle was not in the mood to deal with announcements.
I was able to address & return address them all while nursing (my new version of multi-tasking), but the post office was another story. He fell asleep in the car on the way there, but the second I took him out he started fussing. By the time I had purchased the stamps, the fussing had turned to a soft cry. I thought he would calm down after I found his paci so I started to put the stamps on the envelopes, but after I got through 2 stamps the soft cry had turned to full-on screams. Aaah! My first time in a public place with a screaming baby! Time to haul ass back to the car.
Luckily driving calmed him down some and I was able to hurriedly stamp the rest of the envelopes and drop them in the mailbox with minimal cries. But I would like to apologize in advance for the seriously crooked stamps on 80% of the envelopes.

Our other adventure today was much more mellow and successful: lay on a blanket in the shade in the park behind our house. Aaaaah, how peaceful and relaxing. And this sweet boy loved every second, just soaking in the breeze and the sounds. My favorite moment of the day.
