Life is like a toddler's cheeseburger -- kinda

Just reflecting as I sit here watching my toddler busy himself with toddler activity. We already had an outing to the mall where we played at the indoor playground. We went on a mini jaunt around the stores- which, by the way, William's Sonoma has the cutest cupcake tin for sale this spring- it makes flower cupcakes... Toddler B and I stood by the window for about 5 minutes, staring at the cool cupcakes- I just have to have one for Easter!!!! I'm thinking Hubby wont be as enthusiastic...


Toddler B then decided it was time for a cheeseburger...

Cheeseburger- he yelled- CHEESEBURGER!!!!!

Toddler B, I explained- I don't have money for a cheeseburger right now. But, I can make you a cheeseburger when we get home.

Money? Cheeseburger? He asked...

That's right, Toddler B, we need money for a cheeseburger...

That explanation seemed to appease him for a moment...

On the way towards the mall exit, we passed by a conservative lingerie store...to which Toddler B exclaimed rather enthusiastically-

OOBIES!!!! MOMMY OOBIES!!!!

(he actually said it correctly, with a B, but I'm attempting to keep unwanted readers away who might be googling oobies with a B!)

I caught myself looking around to see who was in hearing distance...

I breathed a sigh of relief in realizing that no one was paying any attention- or at least- pretending not to pay attention....

So now, as I sit here- watching Toddler B entertain myself- I think to myself-

what a beautiful day it is here in the Northwest-

The sun is shining

The skies are blue

Toddler B is dancing and singing to another Barney song-

What more could I ask for?!!!


Oh- and about that cheeseburger-

I was able to find $2 worth of change in the car-

B and I were able to enjoy a McD's cheeseburger after all

To which he happily stated-

Yummy- cheeseburger

Yummy!- I replied, smiling at my Toddler B.

It's the cheeseburger moments that I will cherish forever-
