The best thing EVER.

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!

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
