Here's my random story of the day...I was at the post office this morning waiting in a line a mile long to mail a package. We waited so long that I actually went back to the car to get the stroller so Graham could be contained :) After patiently waiting in the stroller for 15 minutes, the post office decorations were no longer entertaining to him and he
began to play with his shoes. He took them off, tossed them to the floor, I put them back on him, and this game repeated itself over and over. I grew tired of
retrieving Graham's shoe so I began to tell him that he wasn't supposed to take his shoe off anymore. Well, off his shoe came again and sure enough he tossed it. The woman in front of me turned around and kindly asked what my son's name was. I told her his name was Graham and she smiled. Then, she got down on Graham's level and began to VERY LOUDLY scold him saying over and over again "Graham-do not take your shoe off. Graham, listen to your Mom!" I was shocked and told her to stop disciplining my son! What gives her the right to yell at my child? I really wanted to let her know that tossing his shoe after I asked him not to do so was hardly worth yelling about. After all, he was entertaining himself and as a bonus he wasn't using his very loud "outside" voice. I have met more random characters since I've become a Mom....how do I find these people? Or maybe, I should be asking, how do these people find me?
In honor of our random morning, here are a few random pictures of Graham playing outside this afternoon
We're still working on the whole bubble thing. Graham still thinks he needs to put the entire wand into his mouth to produce the bubbles. So far, it hasn't been too successful for him... Taking a break with his prized clubs Graham got into his wagon and immediately threw every single toy into the grass. He got right down to business working on the buckle. He's obsessed with buckles-carseats, strollers, booster chairs, wagons, baby carriers, if it's got a buckle, he loves it!
