Big Friday

Had to pack in a lot today. We met Gina in North Park at 8am for breakfast and then played in the cutest park on Adamas Avenue. I have no idea what it the park was called, but it had a miniature version of the surrounding streets running through it as well as fun playground stuff. Brandt slid down a full-length slide all by himself.

Next we joined Alex's playgroup for a playdate at Mission Bay. There were only three of us there, though, since her group is preparing for a big camping trip this weekend. We mostly hung out on the grass and ate snacks and I convinced Alex to pull Brandt around on a blanket while I sat on my butt and watched. I swear when he leaned over the side and pawed at the ground it was because he was trying to push himself along even faster. It's a bit scary to have a speed demon baby for a son.

Roman finally got in touch with my renters (broken cell phone, apparently) so we did a walkthrough of the house. It looks fine--phew. The hippy sign really had me worried! And the yard looks better than ever. There's something to be said for having flower shop owners as tenants. Then we hung out at Roman and Colette's for a bit to play with Lucy (who I thought was a puppy, but is really five). Roman's parents happened to stop by and as soon as they noticed Brandt started giving R and C the hard sell on having a baby. I'm not sure if it took yet, though. Lucy seems to enjoy being an only child at the moment. I didn't let Brandt in their new pool, but he did make it to the pond and had a great time splashing in it.

This evening one of Ashley's former coworkers had a BBQ/happy hour thing that we crashed. Their baby is one day younger than Brandt and had the coolest toys! I am totally ordering one of those Rody horses first chance I get. Brandt had the greatest time falling off it. There were also two tiny babies there: three weeks old and five weeks old. I have trouble remembering when Brandt was that little.
