Thursday night we went to a going away dinner for a friend of mine that is moving to California. Adam was the only kid there and I was a little worried about how he’d behave himself. I ended up worrying for nothing. He was awesome. He played quietly, sat nicely in his high chair, and ate his dinner (well most of it) like a pro (he did end up with some applesauce in his hair). I think it helped that I brought my newest craft project to entertain him with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had gotten the pattern for this about a month ago and finally made myself give it a try this week.\u00a0I used some leftover dinosaur fabric. I think it came from a quilt my mom made years ago and it was perfect for this project. I really am trying to get better about searching through the fabric and supplies I already have before going out and buying more – which I know will make Dave happy.<\/p>\n

I resized some coloring pages I found online to stick in the middle pocket.\u00a0The notebook on the right is 4×6 inches – just to give you an idea of the overall size. It easily fit in my purse and I’m not kidding when I say it kept him busy the whole time we were at dinner. I did put it away while he ate, but as soon as he was done he asked for it back.<\/p>\n

And while we’re on the topic of things that fit in my purse, let me give you the run down there.\u00a0When we are out and about I normally have my wallet, keys, cell phone, a pen, and a small coupon\/gift card holder. That’s my stuff.<\/p>\n

I also have the crayon wallet, the car playmat I made him (filled with 6 cars), two diapers, a travel size container of baby wipes, a snack of some sort (normally dry cereal), a sippy cup, a small Superman action figure (that’s important to differentiate, it is an “action figure” – not a doll), and a Blue’s Clues book.<\/p>\n

The little man does not travel lightly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
