Current mood: drained
I have learned a valuable Mama lesson today, when we go out to eat or shop NEVER forget Mia's fuzzy pink lady bug blankey again! or at least have another fuzzy back up blankey.
Today, Adrian and I and the baby went to celebrate Valentines Day early. We treated ourselves to the RoadHouse restaurant, one of our favorite places to eat. It is a bit aways in Temecula but since it was a special day for us we decided to try it with the baby for the first time.
A couple of days ago, Mia over ate and spit up on her little pink lady bug blankey she takes everywhere. I haven't had the chance to do her laundry so I wasn't clean for our trip. So instead I brought her other white blankey. This one isn't as fuzzy as her pink one but I figured it was still soft and should do the trick... WRONG!
(Oh I should add....In order for Mia to go to sleep she needs a soft fuzzy blankey to lightly dab on her face as she sucks her fingers to soothe herself to sleep. She only has two, the pink lady bug one and a green Winnie the Pooh one she sleeps with at night.)
Anyways, so things started off good. We got to the restaurant and it was a bit rainy outside. It was pretty empty inside so we got a good seat. Things went well for about 15mins then she got bored and tired. She wanted to go to sleep but she couldn't relax. Now I know why! she didn't have her blankey. She couldn't hold the white blankey the same way so she couldn't dab her face, so that spelled disaster for us! She began to get fussy and started throwing toys on the floor so we couldn't use them anymore. Towards the end we had to try to entertain her with the ketchup and mustard bottles! Adrian couldn't even put mustard on his hamburger because once he tried to take it away from her she started to cry. So our dinner was cut alittle short and we didn't get to really dilly dally. Since we planned on leaving a bit later so we could let the traffic die down we had to make another pit stop to kill some time.
So we went to Circut City to see what kind of going out of business sales they had. It was near the restaurant so that was good. We forgot little Mia's stroller at home so we ended up putting her whole carseat thingy in the basket and pushed her around. Eventually she fell asleep..phew.. so we got some shopping done. As we bought our stuff at the cashiers she woke up but was in a good mood. We then packed her back into the car, trying to keep her dry since it was still raining outside and we made it back home.
So here we are, shes jumping in her jump-a-roo and I am trying to get this blog out as fast as I can so I get her bath stuff set up. Phew what an adventure.. it didn't go as smoothly as planned but I have learned a very big lesson... never leave the house without a fuzzy blankey again!
