We had a pretty busy day today as my gf and her son came over for a shopping date. We went to Ikea and Costco and our two boys enjoyed every minute of it. They imitated each other's screams and actions; giggled and goofed around. We were unusually quick at Ikea where we just got what we really needed and not browsed around anymore. I bought canisters for my cereals and my son's snacks; an extra big pot; and organizers. Ordinarily I would spend at least an hour at Ikea by myself, but with my son with me I had to be quick to shop then run. After shopping, we headed home and the little ones played a little bit of bubbles in the yard. My son was really tired fighting his sleepiness but it was too early for bedtime so I engaged him in some playtime before dinner. After dinner I gave him a quick shower, then gave his milk then tucked him in bed at 6:30. I wish I could call it a night too, but I have online work I have to finish yet.
