Totally Tuesday

Last Tuesday Hayden went for his 15 month check up and is weighing in at 22.5 pounds (25%) and 31 inches (50%)long with a HUGE head in the 90th percentile. He warmed up to his new doctor who I really liked and got 2 shots then we were out the door headed to Stride Rite for a new pair of shoes. This is the first pair of new shoes he has had since the others have all been hand me downs. Poor boy I have been stuffing his size 5 feet into size 4 shoes. This was Hayden's first trip to the mall since he was 5 months old and he is in love with the escalators. We rode them at least 8 times up and down and back up and down again. Every time we got to the top or bottom he would sign "more" and "please" and how could I not continue to ride up and down looking like a fool. We then went to the Disney store just to look around. I was on a mission to only buy one pair of shoes and nothing else. I ventured into a few more stores including Gymboree but I did NOT purchase a single other item. Now don't get me wrong, I am not a huge spender or even one who likes to shop but get me around a bunch of cute baby clothes and I usually will buy more than I set out too (especially if it's on sale).
We then headed to Grammy's work for a quick visit and she had to show him off to her coworkers (what grandmother can resist) and then we headed home for a nap. We got a lot accomplished and in the future I'll remember the escalators and hope that's all it takes to satisfy Hayden. What you want a Wii, a trip to Disney, the latest must have toy? Why don't we just go ride the escalators instead. Yeah I don't think that will work. Do you?
