GREAT DAY!!! Took Spencer and Rachel to a play area at a local mall. I was scared shitless all day thinking that Spencer would go running off and Rachel would be screaming and I'd leave in tears. Well that didn't happen. I stopped on the way and got an iced coffee and on a whim a chicken nugget happy meal for Doodle. Well, he ate the fries and nuggets, good point number one. We had to block off the entrance with our strollers, but Spencer only made a break for it once. He played with the other kids and had a blast. The new mom in our group came and I really felt a connection with her. Rachel stayed happy as long as she was being held. I gave her a bottle without incident, as the other moms were happy to help keep an eye on Spencer while I was occupied. He kept playing for awhile with the other kids. I have some cute pics of them together. He was just so completely normal. I am so happy. That was exactly what I needed. He was exhausted and cranky this evening, but we still went out on the deck and played for awhile too. I'm such a moron, he stands at the window because he wants to go outside, but doesn't know how to tell me. Tomorrow I'm going to focus on packing and we have tumbling class in the evening. Hopefully he'll get a good nap and this week will go better than last. So good day. I actually caught myself smiling and being happy for the first time in a long time this afternoon.
