Busy Day

Aidan and I left the house at 10:00 this morning and went to Edventure, where we played for almost two hours. After that we went and ate lunch at the new Chick-Fil-A in West Columbia, where Aidan was excited to find out that they had built a toddler playplace with steps that he could actually climb. He played for over an hour and I`m pretty sure he forgot I was there. When we left Chick-Fil-A we went up to Babies R Us and then on to Target, where Aidan had the worst meltdown of his life, and four childless women stared at me until I got him calmed down. Target didn`t have what I was looking for, so I went to Kohls and found it there, and then we went to Publix to get Bryan`s birthday cake. On our way home, I realized that both Target and Publix had overcharged me and Aidan was grumpy, so it`ll have to be dealt with another day. We came home and sang Happy Birthday to Bryan and gave him his Gamecock flipflops to match all his new USC shirts. We were gone more than eight hours, the longest I think Aidan has been out and about in one day, so the single meltdown was probably a miracle. After about ten minutes of trying to keep him awake on the way home, I gave up and pulled over, laid his seat back and he was asleep in less than 30seconds. It`s no surprise, though, with all the time he spent running around at Edventure and Chick-Fil-A.
