No laundry for you

So this post has so many topics I did not know what to title it. In my mind I have so many things, funny things, to tell you about tonight but I don't know where to start. So I guess I will start from the beginning. Today at daycare Easton did not take ONE nap, NOPE NOT ONE. So I left work early thinking that the car ride home would put him to sleep and he would sleep for about 1 hour until he wanted dinner. And within that one hour of sleeping I could catch up on laundry, cleaning, or just relax. But I was completely wrong. As soon as the car stopped I heard Easton just talking and playing with his toys. So we came inside the house and of course there was a bottle on the table and Easton saw it and thought that he should have it. When he realized that nothing but air was in there he screamed. So I gave him a bottle and he started to drift off. YES!!! But as soon as he was done with the bottle his eyes opened so wide I think he could see the whole world. So I let him play for a little bit and then gave him dinner. After dinner he was content just sitting in his highchair. I talked to him and played with some of his toys. But I had things to do and as much as I love spending quality time with him I just had to get some things done. After thinking about all my options and what I should do I took the easy way out. I wheeled him out of the dining room and into the living room. With a........TV. Yes, I placed my son in front of a TV so I could do some chores. I do have to tell you that I did put on Baby Einstein, that way I didn't feel so quality about letting my 8 month old watch TV for as long as I could. Then a light bulb came on in my head. What if I gave him puffs to eat while watching TV? (No wonder why America has a high obesity problem)But that would give me more time to get laundry done(remind you after all these things I still haven't even started doing any chores). I go into the cabinet and see so many puffs to choose from, Reds(strawberry and beets) Purple(Purple sweet potatoes and blueberry) green(spinach and pears)and Orange( Mango and something I can't remember). I break them apart and let him go at it. I walk towards the room to start laundry and then James had a question. It was, "Do you think he knows that each piece tastes like something else? Do you think he likes a certain color better than the others?" I told him I don't know, go find out. and he did just that. James broke more of the puffs and categorized them by color hoping to see which one Easton would grab for more. And as he was doing this he told me to come look so I can see. I came over and what does Easton do, He grabs ALL the puffs, Red, Orange, Green, and Purple. He attempts to put them in his mouth, he tries really hard. I told James, there's your answer he like all of them. James was kind of disappointed he was hoping Easton would "tell" him which flavor he liked best. But that was short lived and James went to go make dinner. So I'm back in the living room breaking up more pieces for Easton to eat and taking pictures because he is so darn cute.(I'm not just saying that because I'm his mom, hehe). And after taking pictures and watching baby Einstein it was already 6:30pm and hour until his bedtime. I looked at the clock once I was done cleaning Easton and realized that I wasn't going to get my laundry done today. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.
Enjoy the pictures of Easton and his quality time with the TV and puffs
