The Past Few Days

Wednesday I decided that, even though Anna was still a bit on-edge from teething, we were going to get out of the house. I gave her some Tylenol and we went to the UPS Store and then to the local coffee house. We got a seat outside and I had a mint-chocolate-chip-mocha and Anna had a chocolate chip muffin. She was much happier with her life by the time we got to the coffee house and much more chocolaty (?!) when we left!

This (a special food treat) is something I struggle with, espcially with having a daughter. I don't want to make food an "issue" (and I know she's only 13.5 months) so I had a hard time convincing myself that it was okay to go out for a muffin when she wasn't feeling well. I think she knows it was a special one-time thing so I'm really not worried about creating a comfort-eating habit at this point, but it is on my mind.

Yesterday she was acting normally (no Tylenol, no teething gel!) so we went to Target to make some returns and then hit the outdoor shopping area to hang out at the park, buy me some new shoes (to replace my Birkenstocks from 1994 or 1995!), a new HTML/XHTML/CSS book (for my mom's group web site project) at the bookstore, and get some lunch. It was a fun little mother-daughter-day-out and she was really great in the stores & restaurant because we got to get out and run around in the park, too.
