My dad always used to use the phrase ‘too much fun’, especially used for our shopping trips, too much fun.

Yesterday my friend and I had a great outing to Ikea, and dad would have said too much fun.  Rem did great actually, he hung out in the stroller and signed light many many times. In fact he was fascinated by all the different backgrounds and light fixtures at Ikea. He did fall asleep in the stroller right at his nap time though I think he only ended up sleeping 40 min or so (later, as in 3am this morning I realized this is probably partly while he was up half of last night, though that’s another story. I think the bigger reasons are he is getting another tooth, and is going through a major growth spurt.

After arriving early we sprung for an early lunch. Rem devoured his kids lunch, macaroni and steamed vegis. We were busy talking and cutting up rems macaroni and vegis in between our meal when we got distracted talking and looked over to find rem with macaroni all over his face. He had finished off his whole meal while we were chatting and was very pleased with his accomplishment.

I thought this was a great idea for the backdoor, like a mudroom. If we got a few of them, one for each of us it could be great storage. We could throw our coats, boots, things in it and close the doors, sounds great to me.

This reminded me that we could be using storage under the bed in a better way.

I’ve always liked this map, it would be a cool piece for a bedroom or even a play room. (note i believe that the price tag hanging next to the map is for the sofa not the map)
