The best thing EVER.

10 Mar

It is Seabass’ 10-month birthday today, and I’m excited to report that he is an absolute joy. 

Yesterday, I had planned to take him to the gym, drop him off in childcare, and sweat buckets in a spin class.  But as soon as I started to strap him into his carseat, I realized I didn’t want to do it –  I didn’t want to be apart from my baby for anything.  I even said as much out loud to no one in particular. 

So I took him out of his car seat, shed my spandex and re-clothed, packed a picnic, and brough Seabass and Murphy down to the park for a couple hours.  The weather was spectacular yesterday – you gotta love California in March! – and people on the street seemed carefree and a little giddy from the sun and the warmth. 

I took this video as Seabass watched some city workers trim a tree on the edge of the park.  For a little boy, is there anything better than a sunny day at the park watching a crane and guys in hard hats?  I think not.

    My little guy watched a bulldozer for an hour last weekend. He stood on the kitchen chair, looking out the window.
    Glad you enjoyed the day!

    this is absolutely adorable–i love babies in big hats. it’s also making me wish upon wish upon wish for spring weather…the midwest is significantly less sunny and warm right now 😦

    so cute! once upon a time we lived for awhile with friends near the beach & the train tracks- so whenever we heard it in the distance, we ran out to watch it go by- so exciting! love how little boys love this stuff
