Apartment Reconfiguration

I knew this day was coming but was delusional that i could put it off indefinitely   Teagan’s play area has grown and displaced my office area.  Today MC and I moved her desk into our bedroom out of our Foyer.  We then moved my computer desk into the Foyer so there is more room in the dining room / office / Teagan’s play area.  It is great that Teagan has more play area, and with MC’s desk in the bedroom I even have somewhere i can work from home when i need to and not have Teagan distracting me.  On the down side I don’t know how cool it will be in the Foyer durring the summer.  I hope its not too hot but we may need to get a fan to circulate air better.

The hardest part of the moving stuff was cleaning the dust we saw when moving one carpet.  Everything fit pretty well in their new locations.  I now just have to remember to walk to they Foyer when I want to goto my computer.  I keep walking to the play area and are disappointed when I realize my computer isn’t there.

The next reconfigurations we need to make is move the step cabinet we have out of the play area before Teagan can craw.  The last thing we need is a piece of furniture that screams climb me to a kid that just learned to move around.

Saturday in Forest Park

Today we decided to take a trip to Forest Park.  We wanted to goto the carousel and check out the park.  After debating the best way to get there (walking or public transit) we ended up taking the bus since the trip was just too far to walk with a 7 month old.

The bus trip was uneventful but we had trouble finding an entrance to the park.  We found a horse trail entrance but we couldn’t take the stroller down it.  There was a nice playground next to the trail that we went to and sat on the grass and played with Teagan.  She also got to go on the swings.  We then asked and got directions to were the carousel was but as we were walking there we realized it was way too far away to walk and it was taking us ever further from home and the bus.  At that point we called it quits and headed back towards Austin St.  We were going to find a lunch spot to hit up but when we got back we realized we were just in time to take Teagan to Gymboree so we went to a class.  Teagan had a blast even though I only got fuzzy photos of it.

After all that excitement Teagan had a 2+ hour nap not at her regular time.  She was wiped out.  It was a great day!
