Along with our Summer To Do List, I'm hoping to do a lot of special "just mama and Miss M" activities before Baby C comes this fall. Right now I don't have an actual list, so most of our activities have been spur-of-the-moment kind of things, which in and of itself is something we probably won't be able to do one Baby C's around.
Last week I was craving a Caesar salad (I'm craving one right now, actually ...), so I asked Miss M if she'd like to go to Noodles for lunch. It's not uncommon for us to go out to eat, but I don't think she and I have ever left the house on a weekday just to enjoy lunch and come straight home. It was a really nice lunch! Quiet, delicious. I enjoyed that we could eat at our own pace, and Miss M didn't have to fight for my attention.
Yesterday we went strawberry picking (post to come) - something I hope to do next year with both kiddos - and today we spent most of the morning making a strawberry pie. It was so lovely to have Miss M right beside me in the kitchen. And when there were moments when she couldn't help (like when I was baking the crust or boiling the strawberries), she went off to entertain herself without my even having to ask. So nice!
Are there things you wished you had done with your only child before their sibling was born?
