This past week, Dean was out of town for a few days so Tommy and I had some quality "Tommy and Mommy time". We had lots of outside time, played lots of Candyland, and on Saturday did a little tour de Tallahassee. He woke up early so I made us buttermilk pancakes and we got ready and headed downtown for the weekly Downtown Marketplace that takes place off of Park Avenue. There wasn't a whole lot there and I (purposely) only brought $2 cash, so we couldn't be big spenders, but Tommy had a good time with the hippie guitar duo that was performing.
After walking around there for a bit, we strolled a few blocks down and found ourselves at the capitol building. I figured he should know about the history of his city and state, so after a failed attempt at entering the current capitol to journey to the top (they're closed on weekends), we walked through the museum part of the old capitol. His favorite part was the gift shop, hands-down. Maybe we'll attempt to learn some history later.
Yesterday we had to take Tommy to the eye doctor because his pediatrician was pretty certain that one eye was beginning to turn in. Dean was in full panic mode over having to put a 3 year old boy in glasses (makes baseball and general outside sports difficult), but after a full checkup, including dilation, Tommy got a clean bill of health. Apparently his eye only looks like it's turning in. So it's our eyes that have the problem! He left happy as a clam with his paper sunglasses and a check-up appointment for six months from now. Woo hoo!
And I'm nesting. Hard-core. I went to get some green beans out of the fridge the other night and 45 minutes later found myself sitting on the floor with the shelves and drawers out, scrubbing underneath the bottom of the fridge. Then I spilled an entire casserole dish full of macaroni and cheese in the oven, so bright and early the next morning, I was scrubbing out the oven. I'll either have the cleanest house in Tallahassee or put myself in labor in the process. Oh well.
