So, Kinwa and I have been trying very hard at figuring out this having 2 kids thing. And 2 kids that need lots of attention because they are both babies! So I had t
o run errands last weekend and daddy is still a little apprehensive about taking care of both babies at the same time. So what to do? I know!
An impromptu girls day out! I decided Aitana would go with me to run my errands ... post office, bank, and a 1 hour drive to the OC to get brother his Nap Nanny (more on this later!). Complete, uninterrupted attention from mommy ... the one thing she's always asking for. She was so good ... we got it all done and I decided to take her to South Coast Plaza for lunch and some fun.
Once we got there we decided to have lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. Aitana LOVED lunching with the oooo-ahaha's (monkeys), el-feet (elephants) and feesh (fish)! She got a balloon animal ... a fy-fly (butterfly) in her favorite colors - pink, blue and white! Then off to the carousel, which could only be followed up by the Disney store! Mommy went crazy (not really)! They were having a sale on stuffed animals, so Aitana got to pick 2. One for her and one for brother. What did she pick? Not what you would expect for a little girl for sure ... Minnie Mouse maybe? No. Pooh? No. She picked Pluto! Nothing else would do. Pooh for brother of course. But, Pluto? Only Aitana, who, by the way, is obsessed with DOGS!
I was tired and ready to go home. But Aitana wouldn't hear anything of it. When asked if she was ready to see daddy, I got a big fat NO! And then a very loud SHOP! So we went to the mall near home and of course our favorite place, Target. We left at 9:30 am and didn't get back until almost 6pm. Aitana certainly has her mommy's knack for shopping.
I know it sounds like I spoil my child, but really I don't. We just don't have the $$ to do that. I spoil her with as much love and affection as possible. And when we are able to, she gets a treat. But what a treat! The best treat though was the bonding time we had. Aitana may not remember it, but I sure do and it was very special for both of us. She has also slept with Pluto every night since :)
