Bean Dip's World: My Monday.

Monday was a lot of fun! It could easily be described as one of the best days of my life! Lets start with Sunday though. Sunday Mommy woke me up for church and I got to play in the nursery with some of my friends. I had a lot of fun rolling around on the floor playing with all the different toys. At one point I got a little wild with the plastic piano. I tried standing on it and fell and hit my face on the piano. I didn't hurt myself, it just scared me and I think I scared the people watching me in the nursery too. I was crying because I was scared and they thought I hurt myself, but after a few minutes I wanted back down to play.
After church I went home and took a very long nap than I went to my Grammy's for dinner. Mommy, Daddy and I stayed a while and then we went home and all crawled in bed and snuggled to sleep.
Monday morning nothing exciting happened until around 12:30. Mommy and Daddy put me in my car seat like normal and we pulled into a shopping plaza. I figured we were doing some shopping, nothing special. Mommy said to Daddy that we were early so we walked around the plaza for a little bit. Boring! Daddy talked about getting his license in retail and selling commercial property. Mommy is thinking of becoming a part time doula. Blah blah blah blah. Big people can be so boring sometimes!
We turned around and walked the other way in the plaza and walked into a store. Holy colors, I’m in LOVE! I have no idea where I am but it is so bright and there is some Christmas music playing. A lady asks if I am Zachary and Mommy tells her I am. She introduces herself as Ms. Kristy and tells Mommy and Daddy they can take their shoes off and get comfortable on the mat.
Mommy and Daddy take their shoes off, and take my socks and pants off. We want into the color room and they sit me down on the mat. I have no idea what is going on but the music and the colors are wonderful!
As we are sitting there, more people show up. People my size! There is a little boy there that is two months younger than me and he can walk already! That is going to be me. I cannot wait until I can balance myself on my two little legs.
Two more babies show up, I’m not sure how old they are but the four of us had LOTS of fun! We climbed on things, I went down a slide, we played with balls with holes so they were easy for me to hold, we played soccer, and played with bubbles and even a parachute!
We were playing for an hour and fifteen minutes; it went by too fast. Mommy and Daddy bought me my own bubbles for home.
Daddy and Mommy loaded me up in my car seat and we were off again. We pull up to the mall; I’ve been here before this is where I get my pictures taken, I’m thinking, “I am not dressed for pictures. Maybe I will be getting a new outfit!”
We walk through the mall and stand in a long line. Everyone is talking about something called ‘Santa” and how ‘Santa’ is running late. I have no idea what is going on I’m just hanging out, looking at the other kids in the line. Then I see him! I see a big, chubby man all in red. He is waving at everyone and he has one of the biggest smiles I have ever seen. This must be “Santa”.
We continue to wait in line; I’m not really sure why. Santa is here! We make our way through the crowd of people. I’m not sure what is going on because I can’t see anything until we get closer to the front. Big people are putting us little people on Santa’s lap! Little people are crying! Oh no I’m scared. What is Santa going to do to me?
It is my turn. Santa asks what my name is. I’m hoping Mommy doesn’t tell him, maybe than he will leave me alone, but Mommy tells him. He says “Hi Zachary, how old are you” and Daddy tells him I am almost 8 months old. I am doomed! Doomed I tell you!
Santa tells me that I am a very big boy and asks if I have been good and Mommy and Daddy tell him I have been. He then asks me if there is anything I want for Christmas. Anything?! Mommy tells him that I like to read and would like some new books. That is NOT what I want. Santa if you read this I am telling you right now I do not want more books, I have enough books, what I really want is the Dino Poppity Pop!

While hanging out with Santa I got a picture with him. He is such a cool man!
Zzzz. It’s that time again. Thinking about my Monday is making me tired. I need a nap and than some food. Later peeps!
