Oh no!!! Not Grass...


My son has a terrible fear of grass.  It is actually pretty hilarious...well I think it is.  When you try to stand him in the grass he bends his legs and picks up his feet so you can't put him down and if you do get him down he stands on one leg or stands like a frozen statue.  If you try and sit him in grass he is paralyzed and refuses to crawl because that would require touching the grass.  Lastly, if you try to lay him in the grass instead of flipping over or sitting up he does ridiculous yoga type poses.

I don't know exactly what it is about the grass that offends him.  If you pull it up and give him pieces of grass he is fine with it but touching the grass is off limits - even through shoes or clothes.  Hopefully he will eventually get used to it...

My Newest Fear


So yesterday while on my fabulous girls night out with one of my dearest friends I discovered a new fear...swim suit shopping...

I used to LOVE buying swim suits (not that I ever enjoyed wearing them out in public - but I certainly liked buying them).  I have an entire collection of adorable teeny tiny bikinis that I should probably just give away at this point in my life.  But while we were out I decided that I needed a new swim suit so that I can take Chase swimming for the first time this summer.  So I browsed around and found this cute one piece suit that didn't look too "grandma-ish" and went to try it on.

Well let me tell you, post-baby bodies and swim suits DO NOT MIX.  I don't think I have ever looked so terrible in anything in my entire life.  It made me realize that I am at least 10 lbs away from swimming ready and that in addition to that even if I am back to my pre-baby weight there probably isn't a suit in the world that will cover all of my stretch marks, cellulite, saggy parts, and other nice leftovers that I still have from growing another human being.

So I guess I have to ask other moms that are out there - do they sell a swimming sweat suit?  Or a swimming box?  Or maybe a swimming mu-mu?  If so where can I invest in one?
