What else...

We were able to lock in a place at a marriage retreat with Aaron's unit this weekend. They weren't going to have childcare so they weren't offering soldiers with children slots. Come to find out Thursday that things had changed and we had a room booked for us. After some fast packing on Friday we were on our way to Nashville. The retreat was wonderful. Its nice to get away for the weekend, even if its only a 45 minute drive. We had Saturday afternoon free for "practical exercises" and decided to go shopping. We headed to an outlet mall on the edge of town. While there we bought quite a few things for Jackson and then couple shirts for me and a hat for Aaron. I had to laugh at how I always end up buying something for J when I am out and about. It made me think of my mom. When we were younger we would trap her in the fitting room handing her outfit after outfit to try on. If she liked it we would make her buy it. My dad always said that she deserved it, but would never buy it on her own. I now understand where she was coming from. I don't really need anything, but Jackson needs some 9 month sleepers (for the length) and then the sunglasses were just cute=] I guess its just something that happens to you when you become a parent. You will always put your child's wants and needs before yours; which is how it should be. Guess I am just starting early and deciding what he needs...and wants...lol!
