Getting Out and About

One of the first outings Brayden, Barrett and I took was to a play date at Heather’s (a.k.a Ha Ha) house. She was nice enough to get everyone together to play with Brayden and meet Barrett for the first time.

This too was during a time when Brayden was not into Barrett at all and was having a really hard time. He was so happy to be reunited with his buddies, but still not thrilled that people were more interested in her than him. It was so fun to be around our friends again and to have everyone be really excited about Barrett. All the boys could have cared less about her and when asked if they wanted to see or hold her, they would always say firmly, “NO!” HA! We would soon learn that this is totally a boy/girl thing, because all of Brayden’s girlfriends were totally into seeing and being around the baby. Boys!!

The next outing I dared to do was story time at our local mall. Brayden and I attend this quite often when there is not much to do around the house and we need to get out. This was funny because it was my first time out with the two of them and it took everything out of me!

I came home and was so exhausted from not being used to lugging two kids around that I literally passed out. Good thing my mom was still here to help me because my stamina was not back to normal and the outing made me feel like a bus had hit me!

Needless to say I am feeling much more like myself these days and we regularly get out of the house, but looking back at the first time makes me laugh because it was so new and strange to me.
