My little water lover!

Life has been busy, but duh..ive been saying that for days. Yesterday i finished up priming the nursery... it was hard work but i did it.. in time to jump in the shower and run off to the local hardware store to meet with the design class.. We got ten percent off stuff in the design store..so i bought the paint for the nursery which cost me A LOT..ahh... anyways... I dont know when i will get to the actual painting. I will most likely start taping it off tomorrow. Came home early from the design class and john had aurora bathed and in bed already...what a great hubby! And i cooked dinner and we ate together.. My back was KILLING me.. ive been doing too much and i know it.

We went to bed around ten forty five..got up at six thirtyish to get ready to take aurora to the aquarium of the pacific! We were so excited.. Though i was pretty tired and was having pain in my lower uterus..i didnt sleep well the night before... Got everything ready to go.. Then got on the road..well of course we had L.A. traffic to contend with..ugh.. but we got there with like five minutes to spare and ended up having to wait for a few other people.. I had paid and signed up for this about a month ago.. here is what the page said

Aquarium Education Program
Sea Life Stroll

This one-hour tour is designed to bring your child in a stroller up close to our exhibits before the Aquarium opens. During your personalized tour time, you will get a chance to touch animals in our Aquarium classrooms, see our galleries without the crowds, and make a keepsake book to take home with you. Please join us as we see, hear, and touch our way through the Aquarium of the Pacific.

Its for kids from birth to three.... And it was GREAT! Aurora loved it, we got to touch tons of stuff. She wanted to jump into every bit of water she saw.. with the sting rays, with the star fish, with the otters...etc... she wanted in! She touched sharks, sting rays, sea snails, star fish, etc.. The lady that did the tour was great..and actually at one point aurora was walking around and she was playing with a jelly fish stuffed animal above auroras head and aurora was just giggling and giggling. After the tour was over we got to check out the rest of the aquarium on our own.. However i was pretty beat..and hadnt eaten.. So we ate in their cafe..got aurora a milk, me a chocolate milk and muffin and john didnt want anything.. Then we spent some more time checking out all the stuff in more detail and we went into the bird exhibit..Which had me laughing hysterically. We paid for nectar before we went in and OMG.. john was covered in like five or six birds at one point. They were pooping, luckily not on him..one was nipping at his ear..another at his nipple! LOL.. it was sooo funny...

Well we hobbled our way back through the aquarium and back out to the car. Aurora fell fast asleep on the way home and guess what..no traffic! We grabbed a bite to eat at the drive through and came home. Put aurora down for a nap though she didnt sleep long. Well john took her in the living room and told me to take a nap that i needed the rest..what a sweetie! So i got to try and get some zzz's while he watched aurora. Then i got up and we all got ready to go out yet again. Ran an errand, then went to the tmobile store to see if they had a floor model of johns new phone..he is psyched cause its supposed to be coming soon. Then we headed off to Belly Sprouts.. Which was a fun little store.

I still cant convince John to cloth diaper..i guess oh well..im gonna buy one or two diapers to try them out..see how i like it.. I bought my Moby wrap while i was there..and got my ten percent off.. She showed me how to use it, which was great...even got to put aurora in it and man was that thing awesome..she felt weightless! I went with just plain black....goes with everything..lol..they had a whole range of colors though. I am definitely going to go back to that store.. i mean im not into all of the things they sell or do, but some of it i do like.

Then we made our way home..went out to eat as a family..where aurora was a perfect angel! I just have to say that for now, because i know that someday she will get more of an attitude, she is a wonderful little girl..she is well behaved, understands everything we tell her, can point to various body parts, is saying a number of words, trys repeating us, loves to give kisses, brush her teeth, etc.. we really won the lottery with our little girl! I cant imagine her not in our lives.. she is sooo wonderful...okay..enough of my little girl

Then we made our way home..put her down for a nap..and here i am..im gonna go play with my new wrap in a bit..practice practice practice!
