Lists

I love lists.  I love to-do lists, grocery lists, don't forget lists, or just listing things in my head.  So here are some going around in my head right now. 

List of foods/snacks for William's party next weekend: Chili, cornbread muffins, deviled eggs, jello shaped like Mickey ears and Mickey Mouse cupcakes.

Yard work tasks that need to be done:  Rake leaves, take load of twigs to compost dump, clean up remaining perennials, bring inside swings, refill bird feeders, and turn the compost pile.

List of baby stuff we are lending out to an ecstatic couple at work that are blessed with a pregnancy via IVF:  Swing, pack-and-play, jumperoo, car seats, walker.  And by them getting use out of this stuff it is starting to settle in okay with me that William might be our only child.  There is a little pang every once in a while, but it is getting duller as the years go by.  Plus William is just too fun right now, he is into doing so much and has such an opinion about everything that cracks me up.

List of baby stuff that we still use to this day: monitor, changing table mat (hopefully for not to much longer), stroller, crib converted into toddler bed, etc.

Okay enough of the lists in my head.

William was a great grocery store helper this morning and added a few things to his cart that I didn't have on my list but apparently was in his head: peanut butter, fruit cups and pudding cups.  All stuff we will eventually eat, so no big deal.  He also helped me rake leaves onto the tarp then pull them from the back of the yard to the curb.  Then we took a break to swing.  The white hat he is wearing is mine, the 2T-4T hats are too tight he says and since his usual one was left at daycare he was wearing one of mine, what a big noggin! 

And a funny face picture from the other evening, boy do I love this little guy!
