How Lauren is a Big Meanie Head

Friday was our first official goodbye before our move to Ohio. It was also the day that Lauren decided to do the meanest possible thing that can be done to a person who wants a baby so badly that she mutters about them in her sleep. She took me and my four year old cousin to the park.

Given that it was in the mid-90s on Friday, I was already slightly delusional from the heat, so it wasn't a far stretch to imagine that all the cute babies playing in the wading pool were actually MY babies. My babies were wearing adorable baby bathing suits, splashing in the water and giggling with glee, and smiling great big smiles.

We played at the pool for about 45 minutes, and Abby decided that the concrete needed cooling off, and that if she washed it, the sun would dry it "nice and clean and sunny."

After the pool, we went to the playground, where we were the only people crazy enough to be not only STANDING in the sun, but also moving. Rapidly. And I let a four year old taunt me into climbing up the equipment despite the fact that I was wearing those rubber Old Navy flip flips and I could feel every pebble, bump, and metal bar that I stepped on. She was right though; I couldn't catch her.

I had fun. But I'm not doing that again until it's MY kid playing in the nearly 100 degree heat.
