Oh What Fun

In 2009 we were blessed with the opportunity to take our son to the following:

(1) Legoland (awesome Military discount)
(2) Legoland Sealife (free with the Legoland tickets)
(3) Seaworld (free thanks to Military Appreciation!)
(4) Disneyland (thank you Mel & Phil for the free passes!)
(5) Birch Aquarium (another awesome Military discount)

Mind you, he was too young to remember any of this (which is why babies are usually free anyway), but nonetheless it was fun to take him to these places and watch his face as he witnessed new and exciting things. Of course, it was quite fun for Mommy and Daddy to go to these places too (Disneyland was our fav), and we'll definitely have to take our baby boy to these places again, sometime in the future, when he can really understand and appreciate these experiences.

Until then, we'll continue to take him on fun and exciting adventures... like today, we decided to check out Kohls since hubby had never been. Baby boy enjoyed being pushed around in his stroller while I dug through the clearance racks in search for good deals for Christmas 2010. The highlight of the trip was when his Daddy let him touch all sorts of different materials. It was fun to watch his face and hear him laugh and squeal when he touched brushed cotton, corduroy, wool, etc. The other day he enjoyed being pushed around the mall and looking at the lights - oh how the lights amazed him. Another time we ate at Wendy's (where baby boy dined on organic peas ala Gerber) and he was mesmerized by the signage, particularly the picture of a chicken sandwich.

Oh what fun he has with the most simple and basic things! I must cherish these moments... because I know in a year a plastic spoon won't entertain him the way it does now!
