shake, shake, shake

clearly this gym mat is command central for trying new things. he's been shaking the hell out of this rattle toy thing since we got home. virginia must have given him all new strength.
today we're going to try a yoga class together. it may turn out to be way too california for me, but i'm willing to give it a go. t2 is such a social kid i feel like the best thing i can do for him is to get him out to interact with other people. i've even thought about joining a mommy and me group. euhguthgh. sitting in a circle singing songs with a bunch of strangers? i dunno, it sounds like something i probably won't like.
so you gotta know - the airport on the way to virginia was, well, kinda awful. we arrived early (cough cough, of course), but rushed our way through. security was the worst.
coat off.
shoes off.
computer out.
baby out.
who holds baby?
fold stroller.
stroller won't fit through the machine.
squish stroller, shove it through.
set the alarm off.
sweat, sweat, sweat.
words, words, words.
collect shoes, jacket, baby, stroller, coat, computer, purse, diaper bag, license, boarding pass ..... ack.
it was such a hassle.
i had lip gloss and i think also a lighter in my purse, so that made it extra fun and special.
we stressed us out and the baby had nothing to do with it. in fact, i think he just smiled the whole time and made eyes at the TSA folks.
"yes, those are my parents. have mercy, they're new."
on the way home, though, we were ready. knowing what to expect we hashed it all out before hand -- who'd carry what, who was responsible for what and the like.
we divided. we conquered. we rode first class.
go team.
