Out Takes

OUT and ABOUT

{March 6th}

I haven't been out much with three kids yet,

keeping kids in during the sick season.

Today I decided we needed to go to the library.

Since we haven't been out much I, Brinley rarely goes in the car seat.

She went off to dreamland. Slept on the way there. 

We got there ten minutes early.

The kids went right to the fun library rug and sat down.

She woke up after the kids got involved in story time.

Nursed well with the nursing cover,

and enjoyed watching the kids the rest of story hour.

Emsley and James listened well.

This outing was bliss...

Another mother came in about 15 minutes late...towing two kids.

She kept having to tell one of her kids to sit down.

Her other child kept wandering off pulling books out from the shelves.

She had some snacks she pulled out...

(which i bet was a last resort noting no food allowed)

She let one of her kids sit in the chair next to her.

The other now getting up from the rug 

wanting her treat.

She gives her some and she sits down.

Then James sees her and starts saying I want one.

She proceeds to put the treats away.

Then leaves before story time is over.

I was nursing Brinley while watching this other mother struggle.

I wanted so badly to empathize with her and say I've been there.

That this is one of those rare blissful occasions where things are going well.

The next week we went to library story hour. The first time out went so well, I thought I can do this it was actually easy last time.

It didn't last.

We were late to story time.

There were no big chairs for me to sit on.

I ended up sitting on the kid chairs at the kids table.

Hips off kilter because there to wide.

Every few minutes I was telling James to sit down so other kids could see.

He became uninterested and started bringing me books to read. 

Brinley wanted me to hold her and not be put down.

When it came time for our craft Brinley had to nurse,

so I started to nurse her. James stayed at the table about 6 minutes.

Then wanted to see the large tall wooden bunnies that were on the bookshelf.

I tried to get him to come back to the table by just asking him.

 Pretty soon he started to climb the bookshelf.

As soon as I saw this I unlatched Brinley held her in one arm put my nursing cover over me to stay modest.

Then ran for James. As I'm getting him down with one hand I must have held Brinley a bit tighter, because then she vomited about everything she had eaten. Soaking her outfit and the bottom of my shirt and one leg of my pants. I take us all to the bathroom. Get some of the spit up cleaned up then Brinley poops. So I clean her up while trying to keep Em and James in the bathroom.

Then James poops. By the time we got home let me just tell you I was exhausted!

Sleeping Beauty

{March 3rd}

Oh how I love watching her sleep...

Finger Fascination

{March 2nd}

Num num num yummy fingers

Brinley is fascinated with her hands and fingers. 

She is always examining them, holding them, 

and putting them in her mouth. 

This little photo shoot captured this perfectly.
