We took him to a labor day get together yesterday and I literally spent three hours chasing him around my friends house and not being able to talk to anyone! I sat and watched all my friends lounging on the porch watching their kids play in the water or on the swing set, just talking, relaxing and drinking a nice cold drink! I was SO jealous! (I guess it is because most of their children are older than Cole but there were a few three year old playing?) My child ran around the yard which had no fence so I was constantly chasing him, he was eating the mud, trying to go inside with his muddy shoes, getting into the ice chest and eating all the junk food he could reach! I was so exhausted and was not able to talk to anyone longer than two minutes before I had to run off and stop my child from doing something crazy.
Cole loves to go to other people's houses, play with new toys and explore but honestly mama just can't handle it! Yesterday I felt like the only person who was having to constantly follow and watch my child as I saw my friends sit back and enjoy their adult time.
