two current obsessions


Our days are filled with trains. Train tables, books, figurines, DVDs. I took Carter to the train table at Barnes & Noble. He played for an hour, then kicked and screamed when I had to drag him away. One mom had to stop reading to her kid and stare us down until we were out of ear's reach.

I tried everything, though. There was no possible way to talk him out of there that didn't include a major public display. Next time, I'm bringing cookies in my purse. Really big, chocolatey ones.

Our house! Woo! They're starting the drywall inside tomorrow. We just found out our move-in date will be around the second week in August.

  3. I am familiar with the tantrums! It is so rude when people stare. That is to be expected from a toddler! Beautiful house, I'm sure you guys will make wonderful memories there.

  7. Love the new house, I can't wait to see the inside! I'm hoping that I can have a house built when we outgrow our townhouse. I love the idea of everything being new and not used by someone else!

  9. The B&N train table is also a regular stop for my 18 month old and me! We went today in fact, and I am far to familiar with the head turning tantrum that occurs upon leaving. It looks like your house is really coming along. What an exciting time in your life moving into a new home, trying for baby number two, and cherishing precious moments with Carter. Sending up prayers for you and your sweet family. May god bless you with another little "bumble".
