Quick post tonight because I am beat. We had a busy day. Grocery shopping (quality one-on-one Leo time), then rushing home to make it in time for a playdate but first I had to quickly frost pumpkin cupcakes with cheesecake frosting that I'd left to cool while we grocery shopped. Leo helped make the cupcakes! Pics to come.
The playdate was fun, with a new friend, a mom of one of Leo's classmates. We talked about the surprise of DS, the crappy birth experiences, the challenges of the kids, the joy, the exhaustion. You know, the usual. She has a second child (daughter) who is two. Her son with DS is a year younger than Leo. They have a dream backyard, with one of those wooden play structures with swings and a slide and a ladder. If Leo had better language skills he probably would have asked to be adopted by them.
The weather today was glorious, the leaves are heading towards peak and it was one of those classic, east coast fall days. It was lovely driving through the quaint little towns to get to where my friend and her family lives. Winding roads shaded by red and yellow and golden leaved trees, classic, grand colonials, bedecked with the proverbial fall mums, scarecrow figures, pumpkins and Halloween regalia. It felt like a movie.
But like I said, I am beat. I am thinking wine and a bath. A restful evening to all.
