Yesterday I took Maximus to one of our favorite outdoor malls. Rob had been out of town and wasn't coming home until late last night so I thought it would be fun to get out. Plus, I wanted to go check out some dishes that I saw online at Crate & Barrel. The weather has been so nice here lately, high 70's, low 80's.
So, I put Maixmus in the umbrella stroller that I purchased the other day. It works great to have something compact for those short little jaunts. But, it wasn't too long before he got restless and wanted OUT! I tried holding him, but he wasn't into that either. Nope! He wanted to check out the stroller for himself.
Actually, he wanted to push it by himself. I thought perhaps the balloon would occupy his attention...
it did for about a minute, until he decided that having too hands free would be the most effective way to manuever his new toy.
If I would have let him, we'd probably still be there.
Here's a little video of him in action.
Happy day!

o Heidi! I've been on my computer all day today (off and on) and just about was finally finished and thought I'd check to see if there were any new posts and ...you are here!!! Yay!!!
Ok, that video was so dang CUTE!!!! M is such a little guy/man. His first Car!!!! hahahaha. "Mom, Let ME drive!!!"
Did you see my post with my grandson...? go ... see it...
GOOD MORNING YOU TWO! Oh, how I actually miss OUTDOOR MALLS! I remember when I was just a bit older than Maximus, my mother and I used to walk everywhere; she didn't drive so if she needed the slightest thing, we would walked what seemed like miles to go get it. In those days, it was simple store fronts along a busy main st., then the advent of the MALL, but out in L.A., they were outdoor malls. Then, we saw the first INDOOR mall come to town, which had followed in the footsteps of the FIRST INDOOR MALL BUILT IN AMERICA, which is HERE, in Edina, Minnesota: The Southdale Mall....
Speaking of malls, yes, we have the Mall of America here, but you are right my friend. Everyone I have approached about my art tells me the same thing. They have buyers that go to shows where artists pay to show their wares. Then buyers for these large corporations (or even small ones) do the buying. As I approach even the SMALL BUSINESSES, they too have buyers that have already stocked the stores up for the season.
Thank you for your encouragement. It is not easy out there......
This is so adorable!!
So sweet Heidi! Hoe you all are having a fun and easy weekend!
Nope, that is the first time I have posted a pic of him. I couldn't resist sharing that one. I have a ton but I don't want to plaster him all over my blog like some people... haaaaaahaaaaahaaaaaaa. I think you are cool! I love seeing M and if LL was mine I would have him all OVER THE PLACE. Have a fab weekend and keep a blogging, girl friend!!!!

Cute!!! Answering your question about where my camera was, I had it strapped around my neck and I grabbed her hands and spun her around and left my camera were it was! :) not a stupid question at all!
He drives like me! So cute!
Good morning precious friend....
Thank you for visiting my post. I was and in a way, STILL feeling a little down about my art...not sure if it is appealing, but all artists have to and will always, STRUGGLE.
My attempt to share my blues was to at least create a poetic style post to basically say that I may have to give up my dream to get back to reality. We shall see!!! Anita
Dear kind friend,
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your prayers. I need prayer to be resourceful, clever, brave and strong. THANK YOU. IT IS HARD OUT THERE!!!! Anita

M is so cute and so big pushing his own stroller....I do not think Mr. L has thought of this yet....but he pushes everything else he sees!!!!!The broom, the vacumn, his little shopping cart, his sister's doll stroller.......I guess he has not put it together to want to push his stroller......not gonna tell him!!!!
I love how adventurous they are, don't you?????
What a fun day...and what's better then a new balloon????
He is adorable!!!
