Rush's Big Day!

We are starting to feel like the kiddos need some individual time to be with each of us. Rush got to have his day by himself with me last weekend. Rush is my child that is OK with being by himself and often wants to play on his own, but I always want him to feel special even though he doesn't demand as much attention as someone else I know. :-) So, we told SF a little white lie. She thought we were going to the grocery store. We did go to a store, but that was to buy Rush a new toy. She got a little something new, too. But she has no idea that Rush and I also enjoyed breakfast at Chick-fil-a and then a trip to the park. Rush had THE BEST TIME!! I couldn't have planned it better if I had tried. When we got to Chick-fil-a for breakfast, we were pretty much the only people in the place. The employees showered Rush with attention telling him how handsome he is and how much they loved his blue eyes. He just grinned and looked at everyone. Then, he got to choose any color balloon that he wanted. I have to be honest, sometimes we forgo balloons and things like that because it is just too much to have TWO of them flying around in the back seat on the way home. Then, someone's balloon pops... there is crying...attempts to get the other's balloon.. you get the picture. So, since Rush is a twin, he probably has not reached his balloon-getting quota for kids. Balloons are pretty exciting. :-) We tied his giant green balloon on the chair as we had breakfast and talked about all of the photographs they had decorating the walls. After that, we went to Target to purchase a new set of cars. Nine new ones in all! They were on sale and were in a Cars (the movie) package that Rush just couldn't resist. He kept telling me it was his "spesha {special} day". We ended our morning at the park. Rush climbed and played. We even went down the "big twisty" slide together. I wasn't even sure he remembered it all or that it made an impression on him, but Sue Sue, our day care provider, told me that he gave her all the details one day when he was the first one awake after nap. I was so happy to know that it was something he remembered! Here are some pictures of our day:



P.S. A sweet little girl is standing beside me watching me post this saying:
"Dat's Rush. Where's me? Where I'm is? Mama, where's me? Why I not in dat picture? Where I'm is?" See what I mean?
