It's my first mother's day, and I've realized a few things. One, I have more fun shopping for things for Hayden than I ever had shopping for myself. Today we went to a huge baby gear and clothing sale in Portsmouth. We got a baby size life jacket (for the pool and/or the pontoon boat we'll be going out on this summer for the hypnobirthing picnic), a Nantucket T-Shirt, a few other cute outfits, a new sling (since I lost mine), a great big toy that really doesn't need to be in out living room but Hayden loves it, and, perhaps coolest of all, little tiny "bear feet" slippers that match the ones I've had for years. We had a ball...oh, speaking of balls, Hayden fell in love with a little ball filled with glitter, so we got it for her at the toy store. I just can't resist her gummy little smile.
Today was a great day. We spent the day with friends, saw other friends at the sale, and just had an easy, fun time. Brian cooked me a wonderful dinner as part of my Mother's day weekend festivities, and we're settled in for the night to watch Juno. Nothing says Mother's Day like a movie about teen pregnancy.
