After Nap

Sometimes the time in between when X gets up from a nap and when Walter comes home from work seems to drag.............on................forever! It's not always enough time to pack up and go anywhere and lately it's been pretty hot in the afternoons so we can't really play outside either.

We usually have a snack and I marvel at what outfit combination X is usually in by this point of the day. What, do polar bear Jammie pants and an orange tank top not go together? (As a side note, I love these Jammie pants. They've made it on my blog several times. I bought them for $1 at Goodwill and they are so soft. But, Walter has pointed out many times now that they are becoming more and more like skin tight leggings as X grows and I'm gonna have to put them in the "too small" pile VERY soon. Aw shucks!)



The other day it was raining when X got up from his nap so I decided to let him go at it with the pots and pans and mixing bowls as an afternoon activity. It was a hit. He played with this stuff for a good 30-40 minutes straight. He was so serious about it too. He would NOT crack a smile and would NOT look at the camera. It's as if he couldn't be bothered.

So I decided to smile for him. Here's me sitting on the kitchen floor with the pile of pans he stacked on my lap.

I think the flash hit my pasty white skin a little to harshly -- yikes!
