Rainy Day

We FINALLY got some rain today. It was actually nice to have an excuse to be lazy and just play inside. Carter and I had lots of fun playing with all the toys in his room today. I finally got my good camera out again too and got some pictures of Carter playing.









Carter found some bubble packing in one of the closets this morning. It kept him entertained for awhile ...

Our neighborhood is having a yard sale this weekend. I decided that we have enough stuff that we were planning on taking to Goodwill that we could try selling at a yard sale first (especially since we don't have to do any advertising).

Carter has been having a lot of fun climbing all over the boxes of stuff I've been collecting in the dining room ...

He has even figured out how to turn the lights on and off! He's been doing this all day ...

This afternoon Carter and I went to the Farragut library to see a performance of "Llama Llama Red Pajama" and "Llama Llama Mad at Mama" put on by the Dollywood Imagination Playhouse. I know that when they have events at that library, it gets crowded quick. I got Carter down (finally) for an early nap but had to wake him up after about 3o minutes so that we could get there early. We were 15 minutes early and already there was no place to sit. I managed to squeeze in at the back on the floor but since I have almost no lap for Carter anymore with my big belly, it was really uncomfortable. We were sitting behind another adult instead of just kids so Carter had to move a little to either side to see around her.

It all worked out though and Carter did great! He sat still while we waited for the performance to start (probably because there were a gazillion kids to watch). He watched the entire performance too and would clap at random times. I was so happy he did so well especially since we were in such a tight (and hot) space.



When the performance was over and everyone started to get up to leave, Carter did the exact same thing he's been doing at the workshops at Lowe's we've been going to. He grabbed my hand and led me straight to the door. I had to pick him up and convince him he wanted to stay and check out some books!

Yesterday Sarah and I went walking at West Hills Park again. After the walk we had a picnic lunch and then let the kids play on the playground for awhile.

Carter loves the rocks that are at the playground ...

Carter's getting better at getting around on the playground, but I still follow him on it because there are too many open areas that he can fall from. I'm looking forward to the day I feel like he understands that he can't just walk off a ledge that is several feet off the ground (he tries to do that when I'm with him now - I swear I'm not just overprotective!).

Here he is climbing the steps (this is as far as he got before I started following him up). He looks back as if to say "Are you coming?" ...
