Had a too short visit with my friend and her daughters today. She was the photographer for our wedding and brought the disk with our pictures. I've seen a few already that she'd posted on Facebook, but I'm excited to see the whole thing.
Gabriel ate an apple after having a nice little conversation with it. He said "hi!" to the apple and waved at it before biting into it. He is a polite and friendly little omnivore.
This afternoon Gabriel and I took the bus downtown. The buses have stroller sections, but since it was already occupied when I got on the bus, I had to take down and carry the stroller while wrangling a sixteen month old onto a city bus. (All the time I am terrified he will bolt into the street or something).
When I saw that there was enough room for two strollers but the woman sitting there had positioned her kid's stroller cross ways, taking up all the space, I was pretty ticked. The bus driver could have told her to share, but didn't. It wasn't like the woman had a Bugabo or something. It was an umbrella stroller.
So, I held Gabriel on my lap for the majority of the bus ride. When the other mom got off about five minutes before the transit center, the bus driver told me to move into the stroller section. Which meant I had to carry baby, stroller, and diaper bag on a moving bus, three rows back. Then I had to hold baby and open the stroller. It was awkward, but we managed! It was a reminder that I should bring the Ergo with me for future bus trips, just in case. I can easily pop him in and have my hands free to manage any necessary folding and unfolding.
After our adventure on the bus, we walked over to to Crazy Wisdom , and I bought this book: Wise Woman Herbal for the Child Bearing Year. Part of the upcoming TTC plan that should be starting sometime in September.
Afterward, we walked from downtown to central campus to grab some dinner at the noodle place. Gabriel enjoyed his flatbread, scarfed down a bunch of my noodles, and chewed on some carrots. After we went over to the Diag so he could run around. He certainly likes to run far, and fast! I tried to keep him on the grassy area, but he saw all the people walking on the sidewalk and he wanted to be just like them!
I collected some beautiful oak and maple leaves from the ground for our nature table that I'm starting. The maple already has tinges of red....Autumn is around the corner.
